Mount St. Helens tourism 'steady'
Some Cowlitz County officials hoped that people staying close to home during the recession for "staycations" would boost tourism this summer at Mount St. Helens.

Some Cowlitz County officials hoped that people staying close to home during the recession for "staycations" would boost tourism this summer at Mount St. Helens.
Didn't happen.
The Daily News of Longview reports officials believe volcano tourism held steady. And Cowlitz County Tourism Bureau Director Mark Plotkin says any "staycation" benefit helped offset an overall decline, at best.
Officials are hoping the mountain draws more tourists next spring for the 30th anniversary of the big 1980 eruption.
