South Bend is the county seat of Pacific County. In it is the Pacific County Courthouse. The city boasts a population of 1,637 as of 2010. Oysters are a large part of it's economy, and it's not too hard to believe. The Willapa Bay (which is near South Bend) provides about 25% of the U.S.A.'s oysters. Any trip to Pacific County should involve South Bend. Not doing so would be like going to Washington D.C. and not even seeing the White House.
