Popular restaurants in The Triangle Center
Many of Longview’s shops and restaurants are in The Triangle Center, just 2 miles northeast of Saint Helens. “I’m not sure that you’ll walk to a restaurant from Saint Helens, but Silver Star and The Office 842 are pretty popular,” says Scott Foister, local Realtor with RE/MAX Premier Group.

However, locals can grab a bite at My Thai Kitchen within the neighborhood, which is right next door to 20th Avenue Grocery.

Scenic Lake Sacajawea
Picturesque Lake Sacajawea creates the northern border of Saint Helens and Cloney Park creates the western border. “Lake Sacajawea is really popular. Everybody walks their dogs and jogs – it’s always busy every time I drive by. It’s probably the biggest thing in Longview,” says Michelle Rohrbach, broker at John L. Scott Real Estate who specializes in southwest Washington. Here, residents can stop and smell the flowers while walking through the Frank Willis Arboretum and the Japanese garden. The lake contains trout and bass, and fishing is permitted year-round. Families can stop by Lake Sacajawea on select summer nights for free concerts and movie showings. On a typical day, bikers and picnickers may spot geese by the lake (and should keep an eye out for droppings). Cloney Park contains a BMX bike track, a skate park and a playground.
Saint Helens offers a peaceful lakeside retreat with scenic views and tranquil waters.

Getting around by car and by bus
With two parks and two schools located within the neighborhood, Saint Helens is considered somewhat walkable and bikeable. For other errands and outings, bus stops connect passengers to the rest of Longview and to Kelso, the neighboring city across the Cowlitz River. The nearest hospital, PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center, is just 1 mile away. This hospital is the only one in the county; it serves an area bigger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined and includes a Level III Trauma Center. Going to the nearest airport, however, requires a longer trek: Portland International Airport is about 47 miles south down Interstate 5, the main north to south highway in the region.
