Lewiston is the principal city of the Lewiston, ID-WA Metropolitan Statistical Area,
which includes all of both Nez Perce County in Idaho and Asotin County in Washington.
As of the 2000 Census the population of Lewiston was 30,904 (2006 estimate: 31,293).
Lewiston is located at the confluence of the Snake and Clearwater Rivers.
Its main industry is paper and timber products production at the mill owned and operated by
the Potlatch Corporation.
Because the portion of the Snake River between its confluence with the Columbia River
near Pasco, Washington, and Lewiston is navigable by some oceangoing vessels,
Lewiston has the distinction of being Idaho's only seaport and the western United States'
farthest inland seaport.
Barges of timber products, grain and other goods are shipped via the Snake-Columbia system
to the Pacific Ocean.
