26 W to 101 N; through Seaside and Warrenton, over bridge and there you are.
There are also plenty of ports.
Theres an old trolley system that works well.

	Highway 101 Bridge to Megler

Bridge to Megler, Washington
seems to go forever

by glabah

The large and very long bridge (it appears to not have an end!) that crosses the mouth of the Columbia is an impressive structure, but it is only two lanes. Driving over it can feel a little intimidating when there is no where else to go but into the water should someone cross the median line at you.

This was the last gap on highway 101 to be bridged with a bridge. Until it was built, the only way to cross here was by boat.

Yet, crossing the bridge over to Megler will at least give you bragging rights to have crossed what was once one of the longest bridges in North America (it isn't now). Stopping at Dismal Nitch rest area gives you a different perspective on the city of Astoria (though to see across the river you would want to bring a telephoto lens or binoculars!).

While across the river in Washington, it may be worth visiting Cape Disappointment State Park and a few other locations over here in Washington.
