This Astoria Brewery Was Famous For A Glass Floor Where Sea Lions Swim Right Under Your Feet

Some places become famous for their menus, and some become famous for their neighbors. In Astoria, Oregon, one riverfront business earned a cult following because of the sea lions lounging on the wooden pilings below its floor.

Editorial: Astoria rejected a housing tax. Now build solutions.

Feelings about Astoria’s housing predicament were laid bare by the campaign for Measure 4-247 and the reaction against it. Measure proponents approached the issue with admirable conviction. Despite Oregonians’ deep aversion to new taxes, nearly four out of 10 Astoria voters supported a levy on owners of homes occupied less than half the year, with exceptions for certain circumstances. That says something about how urgently many residents want action.

People of Tillamook County Send Demand Petition Calling for Tillamook County District Attorney’s Resignation; Requests Governor, Attorney General Launch Investigation to Determine Criminality of Tillamook County District Attorney’s Actions

The “People of Tillamook County” sent a demand petition to the Governor’s office and state Attorney General’s office the end of October asking for an independent criminal investigation of Tillamook County District Attorney Aubrey Olson, when Olson failed to resign. The group sent a demand to the DA asking her to resign within 72 hours of receipt of the document. The nearly 450 page demand petition outlines multiple examples of Olson’s unethical and in some cases criminal mis-handling of cases in Tillamook County. In addition, following the county’s investigation the DA filed a lawsuit against the county and threatened the Sheriff’s office whistleblower. Recently upon receipt of the People’s petition, she attempted to block the Board of Commissioners from taking action, again threatening injunctions and legal action.

Washington energy customers win in hydro settlement

The Bonneville Power Administration, the agency that sells Columbia Basin hydropower, will lower its proposed rate hike after a legal challenge by local environmental and clean energy advocates. The administration had proposed a roughly 6% increase, arguing it needed an additional $250 million to meet new guidelines requiring more water to be spilled over Columbia River dams to support migrating salmon. Ben Otto, policy director for the Northwest Energy Coalition, which was part of the proceedings, said while he understands Bonneville needs to earn money for its services, the proposed increase was overblown. "BPA's finances are actually in really good shape, and we think that a more holistic examination would find ways to adapt these costs into BPA's overall financial picture instead of just immediately trying to reach into people's pocketbooks," Otto contended. The Bonneville Power Administration provides electricity to more than 5 million people across the Pacific Northwest and Otto said the settlement will save customers close to $40 million. He explained spilling water over dams allows juvenile fish to travel more safely downstream, without passing through lethal turbines. The proposed rate hike is one of several recent increases. The administration already raised its rates by about 9% this

That includes the close auditor's race, where challenger Dotsi Graves leads appointed Auditor Nicole Deskins 51.1 percent to 48.4 percent.

Coastal Miles and Team Smiles: Taking on the Three Capes Relay from Cape Meares to Pacific City

The Three Capes Relay is a one-day, 26.2-mile adventure that you can tackle solo or with a team of 2 or 5. Starting in Tillamook and winding south along the Oregon Coast before finishing in Pacific City, it’s a fundraiser that directly supports Tillamook High School athletics. It’s also one of those true bucket-list races, in our opinion. Before diving deeper, we wanted to call out a few key details right up front.
