Becoming a Host Family Longview receives visitors from Wako, Japan twice each year. In August, school students visit our City and spend special time with families who volunteer as Host Families. Student stays average three to four days, and students are most comfortable doing a home-stay in pairs.
Students love trying American cuisine such as hamburgers and french fries, pizza and salads.
Adult Visitors In October, an adult contingency visits Longview. Most of these visitors are business professionals or teachers and desire to see businesses and organizations that are similar to their own. The adults usually stay at local motels, but would love the opportunity to stay at someone's home. There are very few requirements for being a host family for a student. Please contact the City at 360.577.3391 if you are interested in hosting.
