We’re Glad You’re Here!
Hi there and welcome to the Astoria-Warrenton area, the very best our beautiful Oregon Coast has to offer. With
Astoria clinging to the hillsides that slope down to the Mighty Columbia River, and Warrenton blessed by the
same river on the north and the beautiful beaches of the Pacific Ocean on the west, we can only imagine what
Captain Robert Gray thought about his discovery, when on May 11, 1792, he and his crew guided their little ship
“Columbia Rediviva” into the fabled “Great River of the West.” It is my belief that Captain Gray would be
highly impressed seeing what has become of both Warrenton and Astoria. There have been more than a few
changes in the last 220 years.
If Captain Robert Gray entered the Columbia River today, the first thing he would notice is that the “Columbia
Rediviva” would have been guided through the treacherous crossing of the bar, nicknamed the “Graveyard of the
Pacific,” by one of our highly trained and very brave Bar Pilots, who may have been dropped onto his ship by
helicopter. Once inside the river the “Columbia Rediviva” would first sail past the rapidly developing City of
Warrenton, with its state-of-the-art lumber and logging operations, two beautiful marinas, tons of shopping
opportunities, and the site of a rapidly developing business and industrial park. Captain Gray would also be
surprised to learn of our regional airport located in Warrenton, a great facility serving not only local and visiting
aircraft, but also home to U.S. Coast Guard Sector Columbia River and serving as their base for search and
rescue helicopters. The Astoria-Warrenton area is indeed home to a large Coast Guard contingency including
lifeboat and rescue swimmer training, aids to navigation services (USCG Fir) and our Coast Guard cutters
(USCG Steadfast and Alert). In recognition of the local partnership forged between the Coast Guard and our
communities, Astoria has just recently been honored by being named an Official Coast Guard City, one of only
12 in the U.S. – only four of which are on the West Coast.
Our friend Captain Gray would also be happy to see that Astoria and Warrenton have not lost sight of where they
came from. While our waterfronts are no longer lined with salmon canneries as they once were, we have tried
very hard to maintain the character of our two cities. We have done a great job of preserving our past so it can be
enjoyed in the future by both locals and our guests. Our waterfronts are still looked upon as working waterfronts
and we are happy to share them with the world, as evidenced by the investment both cities have made in the
beautiful walking paths hugging the “Great River of the West,” as well as having our very own historic trolley,
“Old 300,” running along the Columbia River from one end of town to the other, being enjoyed by 40,000+
visitors each year. A leisurely stroll through Astoria’s Downtown Historic District leaves no doubt that both
historic preservation and a unique and wonderful shopping experience can definitely co-exist and even become a
focal point for the entire town. History is indeed alive in the Astoria-Warrenton area and it’s just one of the
reasons up to 20 large cruise ships call on Astoria each year. With over 600 historic buildings, three national
historic districts, 40 locations listed on the National Register of Historic Places, our own Lewis & Clark National
Historical Park and dozens of museums or other historic landmarks, we not only preserve history, we live it. I
guess you could say that as the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains – WE ARE HISTORY.
It is my belief that the great explorer, Captain Robert Gray (Captain Bob to his friends) would be very pleased
with how the people of Astoria and Warrenton have protected his investment. We take intense pride in how we
have nurtured, cared for, loved and shared his discovery. The Mighty Columbia still runs clean, strong and full of
life; our forests are healthy, well managed and productive; our environment is the envy of many; our children are
well-educated; and diversity is an action word in our communities, not just a dream. I have been fortunate to live,
work and raise my children in Astoria for all of my 68 years and can honestly say that there is no place on earth
that I would rather live.
As you can probably tell, we are very proud of Astoria and Warrenton and nothing makes us happier than sharing
that pride with good friends like you. Whether you are looking to relocate your family, your business or simply
spending a few days enjoying our area – you are SO welcome. If you just happen to be looking for a place to
work from home, think about how great it would be to work from our home. Should you have any questions
about our area, please feel free to give me a call at the Chamber (503-325-6311) where working with our guests
is not only our job, it’s our passion.
Skip Hauke
Executive Director
Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce
We are proud to have had the opportunity to serve our business community since 1873 and we look forward to
many more years promoting and supporting our growing list of members. Through numerous efforts, the AstoriaWarrenton Area Chamber of Commerce works to create a strong local economy, promote the community and
represent the interests of business with government.
Our mission is “To drive prosperity by supporting our business community while celebrating our unique history
and heritage.” Our purpose is to provide an opportunity for businesses to work together to accomplish what no
business can do by itself. Our work is directed by 15 elected Board of Directors and seven Advisory members
from the business community and managed by Executive Director Skip Hauke and his staff who carry out the
mission.
The Chamber is also a great resource for local, regional and state visitor information. Through our official
Oregon Welcome Center in Astoria and our Warrenton Visitor Center, we are able to direct visitors and locals
alike to the businesses, attractions, events and services they need. Be sure to check out the Membership Directory
in the back of this guide for a comprehensive list of business and organizations you may be searching for.
We provide multiple monthly opportunities for business leaders to connect with each other and strive to provide
information about what is happening in our community. The Chamber produces two major events each year – the
Astoria-Warrenton Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival, which brings up to 20,000 visitors to the community, and the
very popular Great Columbia Crossing, a 10K Run/Walk across the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the only time each
year pedestrians are allowed on the bridge.
The Astoria-Warrenton Chamber has a proactive media relations program, working with travel media to generate
stories about the area as an ideal vacation destination. Over the years, we’ve been featured in hundreds of
articles. Just in 2011, The New York Times, Washington Post, Sunset, Alaska Airlines Magazine and Budget
Travel wrote about our region. Media mentions may be as brief as a hotel or restaurant review or a multi-page
feature piece about the area as a travel destination.
If you have a business or organization in the area, your first and best marketing move is joining the AstoriaWarrenton Area Chamber of Commerce. Our staff is ready to serve you in any way we can.

As the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies, the Astoria-Warrenton region is a nationally significant
historic area, encompassing the western end of the Lewis & Clark Trail. Astoria is a place that takes visitors back
to simpler times, with architecture dominated by Victorian homes on steep wooded hillsides and a revitalized
1920s-era downtown. The region is set against a backdrop of natural beauty at the mouth of the Columbia River,
with a working waterfront in Astoria and beaches for exploring in Warrenton.
The region is perhaps best known as the place where the Lewis and Clark expedition “wintered over” in 18051806 with their Corps of Discovery at Fort Clatsop. The expedition spent its time hunting, making moccasins and
clothing, trading with the Clatsop, Tillamook and Chinook American Indians and reporting in their journals.
Long before these famous adventurers arrived, many sea captains attempted to discover the mouth of the “great
river of the Northwest,” which was believed to connect the Pacific Ocean with the Northern Atlantic. Captain
Robert Gray, a fur trader from Boston interested in acquiring furs to trade with China for silk, discovered the area
in 1792 and was the first to maneuver past the dangerous sand bar that protected the mouth of the river. Despite
Gray venturing up the river only a short way before turning around and resuming his hunt for furs, he named the
waterway the Columbia River after his ship, the Columbia Rediviva.
The fur trade put Astoria on the map. In 1811, five years after the departure of Lewis and Clark, John Jacob
Astor, a New York financier and at the time the world’s richest man, sent fur traders to establish a trading post.
They built Fort Astoria on a site now preserved as a monument downtown. Although Astor never set foot in the
city, he became its namesake. In the late 1800s, Astoria’s cannery, forest and shipping industries turned the city
into the liveliest boomtown between Seattle and San Francisco.
Similar to Astoria, Warrenton began with East Coast roots. A New Yorker named Daniel Knight Warren
purchased 900 acres across Youngs Bay in 1885. He offered free lots to anyone who agreed to build a high
quality home. In 1899, after many years of successful construction, community leaders formed the city.
Astoria – Nestled along the Columbia River and surrounded by the natural beauty of forests and hills, is the
charming community of Astoria. Home to approximately 9,500 residents, Astoria is recognized as the oldest
American settlement west of the Rockies and is home to more buildings on the National Historic Register per
square foot than anywhere else in the state. The city is also well-known as a popular backdrop for many movies,
including The Goonies. The year 2011 marked Astoria’s bicentennial anniversary and was filled with exciting
events to celebrate this major milestone.
Warrenton – The City of Warrenton sits just across the bay from Astoria. The community of nearly 5,000 takes
pleasure in the region’s gorgeous backdrop and beautiful beaches, which give way to great opportunities for
recreation and quiet respite. Warrenton offers a laid-back, small-town ambience with popular outdoor attractions
including Fort Stevens State Park, the Warrenton Waterfont Trail, Cullaby Lake, the Fisherman’s Lighthouse
Park, Youngs River Falls and Fishhawk Falls.
Facts & Trivia
• Astoria is the first and oldest permanent U.S. settlement west of the Rockies, established in 1811.
• Astoria was once the second-largest city in Oregon.
• The 4.1-mile Astoria-Megler Bridge, which connects Washington with Oregon, is the longest continuous truss
span in North America (second in the world).
• Fort Clatsop is the oldest U.S. military fort on the West Coast. In 2005, a replica of the Lewis and Clark
expedition’s winter home burned to the ground. A new historically accurate structure opened to the public in
2006.
• Fort Stevens is the only military installation in the continental U.S. to be fired on by a submarine since the War
of 1812. Shells were discharged from a Japanese submarine during World War II. There was no damage, and
Fort Stevens did not return fire.
• The English sailing vessel, the Peter Iredale, ran aground on the beach at Fort Stevens during a storm in 1906
and its remains are still visible there.
• Called “The Graveyard of the Pacific,” the Columbia River Bar has claimed 2,000 vessels and 700 lives.
• One-fourth of Astoria’s homes are eligible for Historic Landmark status.
• The region has more historical markers than any other place in the state of Oregon.
• Ranald MacDonald, the first man to teach the English language in Japan, was born in Astoria.
• Downtown businesses were first built on pilings over the Columbia River’s edge. Nearly all of downtown
Astoria was destroyed in a fire in 1922. Fill dirt was added before the downtown was rebuilt. Any flat land you
see in Astoria is most likely fill.
• The first movie made in Oregon, The Fisherman’s Bride, (1909) was filmed in Astoria.
• In 1984, The Goonies was the first major motion picture to be shot in Astoria. Since then, Astoria has been the
setting for Short Circuit (1985), Benji: The Hunted (1986), Come See The Paradise (1989), Kindergarten Cop
(1990), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1992), both Free Willy movies (1992, 1994), The Ring Two (2005),
Cthulhu (2005), The Guardian (2006) and Into the Wild (2007).
• Clark Gable began his stage career with a performance at the Astoria Theater in the summer of 1922 before
becoming famous in Hollywood. The theater no longer exists.
• Maila Nurmi, a Finnish-American actress who created the campy 1950’s character Vampira, graduated from
Astoria High School.
• Shanghaied in Astoria is a musical about Astoria’s history that has been performed in Astoria every year since
1984.
• In 1847, the first post office west of the Rocky Mountains was established in Astoria by James Shively.
• The first U.S. Customs House in the Oregon Territory was established in 1849.
• By 1880, half of the fish canneries on the lower Columbia River were located in Astoria. The dangerous nature
of fishing on the Columbia near the mouth of the river attracted a sizable and unruly assortment of transient
fishermen during the spring salmon seasons, earning Astoria a very rowdy reputation. A reporter with The
Oregonian wrote, “It is perhaps the most wicked place on earth [for its population.]”
• Captain George Flavel was one of the first licensed Columbia River Bar Pilots and Astoria’s first millionaire.
He built the Flavel Mansion in 1885, now open to the public as the Flavel House Museum.
Tourism/Attractions

located in Astoria’s urban forest) to the top of Coxcomb Hill and the stunning views from the Astoria Column.
In Warrenton, stroll past shaded woods, the Skipanon Marina, the D.K. Warren House and spectacular views of
the Columbia River and abundant wildlife on one or all three trails in the Warrenton Trails System. (www.
warrentontrails.org)
Follow the footsteps of the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific Ocean on the 6.5-mile Fort to Sea Trail.
Enjoy a variety of terrain ranging from coastal forests to wetlands, with varying levels of difficulty and the option
to hike small parts of the trail. (www.nps.gov/ lewi/planyourvisit/forttosea.htm)
Astoria is often compared to San Francisco because of its waterfront hillsides dotted with Victorian homes,
making it an excellent city to tour on foot for both water views and interesting sites. One-fourth of the city’s
homes are eligible for Historic Landmark status, and many of the houses are restored to their original beauty. The
best way to see the intriguing architecture and great views of the river and ocean is with a walking tour. Booklets
are available at the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce, the Heritage Museum, the Flavel House and
the Columbia River Maritime Museum for $3.50.
Carruthers Park and Warrenton Dog Park
The City of Warrenton’s Eben H. Carruthers Memorial Park is situated on NW Warrenton Dr. This community
park is home to a covered picnic area, a swing set, an historical Lewis & Clark information viewpoint, the
starting point of the 4.5-mile Warrenton Waterfront Trail and a modern dog park. Nestled at the trailhead, the 2/3acre dog park is noted as the first fully fenced off-leash dog park on the Oregon Coast. Main features include
double-gated entries, separate small and large dog sections, pet water and waste stations, benches, night lighting
and plenty of open space.
Play at Tapiola Park Playground
The Tapiola Park Playground is a great place for kids of all ages to let loose and enjoy the miniature sites and
attractions of Astoria. Favorite local destinations, including Fort Clatsop, the Astoria Column, the Flavel House
and the Astoria-Megler Bridge, are featured as small replicas for interactive play. Built and paid for entirely
through the efforts of the local community, the park is located at 900 West Marine Dr.
Paddle and Surf Local Waterways
Visitors can find a range of water sport activities in the region. Sea kayaking is quite challenging on the North
Oregon Coast, but it’s worth the effort. Touring by paddle on the Lower Columbia River through the islands of
the Lewis & Clark National Wildlife Refuge reveals wildlife such as bald eagles, deer and water fowl. For wind
surfers, Youngs Bay between Astoria and Warrenton can be a great spot for both beginners and experts because
of the abundance of shallow waters and strong wind conditions. There are also several locations for kite surfing,
or visit the nearby Cullaby and Coffenbury lakes for a tranquil canoe trip and wildlife viewing. If you’d like to
take in the view from the water, but prefer to let an engine do the work, Columbia River Eco Tours regularly
offers guided trips around the harbor and estuary.
Clam, Crab and Fish
With its proximity to the ocean and riverfront locale, Astoria and Warrenton have a bounty of seafood available.
Visitors can go to a seafood market or, better yet, catch it themselves. Licenses and equipment are easily
obtained, and charter services can take you to the best fishing spots. For more information on services, seasons,
locations and regulations, contact the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce or the Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife at www.dfw.state.or.us. Sportsfishers can look for an opportunity to catch Chinook (King)
and Coho (Silver) Salmon, Sturgeon, Albacore Tuna, Halibut, Razor Clams and Dungeness Crab.
The Astoria-Warrenton area offers a multitude of parks where you can get close to nature, expend energy with a
variety of outdoor recreation opportunities, or just enjoy the scenery.

Day Trips from Astoria & Warrenton
Youngs River Falls Loop
Youngs River Falls was discovered by a Lewis & Clark hunting party roughly six miles from Fort Clatsop and
was documented in the journals of Patrick Gass on March 1, 1806. The western fork of the Youngs River drops
about 65 feet, with a beach, rustic picnic area and a swimming hole below. The falls can be viewed from the
parking area or reached by a brief hike down the trail. Since the falls can be difficult to find, call or stop by the
Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce.
Cannon Beach, OR
Less than 30 miles south of Astoria on Highway 101, nine miles of wide, pristine beach, quaint accommodations
and eateries invite visitors to Cannon Beach. The city is designed for strolling, and many people take advantage
of this to visit the unique bookstores, shops and bistros. For hikers, there are trails to the water through the thick
conifer forests of Ecola State Park. Nearby Ecola Point has a picnic area and a panoramic viewpoint of Cannon
Beach, Haystack Rock and the Coast Range. This spectacular view is one of the most photographed on the
Oregon Coast. A two-mile trail connects Ecola Point to horseshoe-shaped Indian Beach and a six-mile trail leads
over Tillamook Head to Seaside. For more information, contact the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce at
(503) 436-2623 or www.cannonbeach.org.
Clatsop County Nature Tour
Hundreds of Roosevelt Elk live in the woods behind the open fields at the Jewell Meadows Wildlife area, and
they frequently stop traffic on this scenic drive as motorists pull over to watch them. The refuge is located 22
miles southeast of Astoria on Hwy 202. Owned by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the 1,200-acre
park contains paved parking and a viewing area with a feed wagon that visitors can ride on during the winter. It is
the only park in Oregon set aside to protect Roosevelt Elk.
The Camp 18 Logging Museum, which specializes in the history of the logging industry, is on Hwy 26 near
Elsie, in the same building as Camp 18, a restaurant popular with travelers. The Logging Museum displays 8- to
12-foot diameter wheels used to haul logs, steam donkeys and locomotives.
Saddle Mountain towers 3,283 feet above sea level. It offers the “big picture” of Clatsop County to those who
want to work for it. The park is a seven-mile drive on Highway 26 from Highway 101. At the base of the trail, a
campground offers amenities such as running water, bathrooms and firewood for campers. The trail is three miles
each way. Allow three to four hours for hiking, plus time to enjoy the spectacular views at the top. At the
summit, the highest point in Clatsop County, a hand-railed viewing deck offers a wind-whipped, but spectacular
360-degree panorama. On a clear day, views can span from Nehalem Bay to the south, Mt. Rainier to the north,
the Pacific Ocean to the west and Mt. Hood to the east. Before planning a trip, check with the Oregon State Parks
office to make sure the road is clear.
Ferry to Cathlamet
For an interesting scenic journey, take the last remaining ferry across the Columbia to Cathlamet. The two-hour
auto tour heads east from Astoria along Hwy 30 to Westport with views full of natural beauty and local wildlife.
There, the ferry travels to Puget Island, a quiet retreat where Columbian White-tailed Deer roam freely. From
Puget Island, drive over the 409 bridge to Cathlamet. Visit the Julia Butler Hansen Columbian White-tailed Deer
Refuge, which offers critical habitat for endangered White-tailed Deer, tundra swans, Canadian Geese, mallards
and more. Deer and elk are easily observed and photographed from the county road that circles the mainland
portion of the refuge. Visitors also can kayak, sail, drive or hike to explore the area. After touring Cathlamet,
head west on Hwy 4 and cross the river back to Astoria on the Astoria-Megler Bridge. For more information on
the Westport-Puget Island Ferry, call (360) 795-9996.
The Lewis & Clark Trail In 2003, the country began the celebration of the bicentennial of the Lewis & Clark
expedition. The Astoria and Warrenton region has the distinction of being the winter camp for the Corps of
Discovery from 1805-1806. The Lewis & Clark National Historic Park is comprised of 12 park sites along a 40mile stretch of coast from Long Beach, WA, to Cannon Beach, OR. Visit www.nps.gov/lewi for complete details.
Interpretive markers can be found along the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean.
Long Beach Peninsula, WA
Stretching 28 miles long and only two miles wide, the Long Beach Peninsula (just across the Columbia River
from Astoria and Warrenton) offers visitors everything from fun and games to historical outings, peaceful walks
and vistas in the many small towns that make up the region. Fort Columbia, near the town of Chinook, provides a
beautiful hillside spot for viewing the Columbia River. The fort offers a museum, an historic walking tour and
trails to roam. Farther up the peninsula is the town of Ilwaco, a homeport for many local fishing charter
companies located near the lighthouses at Cape Disappointment State Park and North Head and the Lewis and
Clark Interpretive Center. To the north, the ocean-side towns of Seaview, Long Beach and Ocean Park boast
beautiful beaches, tourist attractions and a variety of excellent eateries and family dining options. The peninsula
is bordered on the east by Willapa Bay, recognized for its oysters and tranquility. Along the bay front sits
Oysterville, founded in 1854 when demand for oyster shipments to San Francisco created a booming economy.
The town is now a National Historic District, and its homes remain much as they were when first built. At the
northern tip of the peninsula, Leadbetter Point State Park is a stopover for more than 100 species of birds
including sandpipers, yellowlegs and sanderlings. For more information, contact the Long Beach Peninsula
Visitors Bureau at (800) 451-2542 or www.funbeach.com.
Seaside, OR
Only a 20-minute drive south on Highway 101 from Astoria, Seaside is a fun family destination and great place
to spend the day. Established as the Oregon Coast’s first beach resort, Seaside’s bustling main street is lined with
arcades, bumper cars, taffy stands, art galleries, boutiques and various other novelty shops, with a boardwalk
overlooking the ocean. Visitors can walk this two-mile stretch at dusk and enjoy spectacular Oregon sunsets, or
stop into the Seaside Aquarium for a view of life under the ocean. For more information, contact the Seaside
Visitors Bureau at (888) 306-2326 or www.seasideor.com.
Location & Transportation
On Oregon’s north coast, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean, you will find the thriving
communities of Astoria and Warrenton. Located at the western end of U.S. Rt. 30 in Clatsop County, Astoria is
separated from Warrenton by a quick trip west across the Youngs Bay Bridge. The community of Warrenton is
bordered on the north by the river as it enters the ocean and by the Pacific to its west. Warrenton’s southeastern
side is transected by U.S. Hwy 101, which crosses over the Young’s Bay Bridge east to Astoria. It continues
north from Astoria across the Columbia River via the 4.2-mile Astoria-Megler Bridge into Pacific County, WA.
Interstate 5 is a short one-hour drive along Hwy 30, connecting the area to Seattle to the north and Portland to the
south.
Both communities are served by public transportation through the Sunset Empire Transportation District
including Dial-a-Ride. Amtrak’s OC & W bus service to the Portland train station provides connections to
Portland International Airport, where commercial air service is only a short two-hour drive from Astoria and

Astoria-Warrenton Airport.
The Port of Astoria operates a deep-water port that can accommodate the industry’s largest vessels, the Astoria
Warrenton Airport, two marinas and a boatyard. The port houses numerous tenants providing services and
supplies to the fishing and boating industries. In the spring, summer and fall, major cruise ships make Astoria a
port of call. Warrenton has two marinas serving the recreational and commercial fishing industries. The
Columbia River provides a major shipping channel for the northwest region allowing cargo ships and barges of
all kinds to travel upriver to additional ports east.
Astoria and Warrenton residents each enjoy beautiful paved walking, biking and skating trails that traverse
riverfront and woodland areas, making intra-city travel safe and enjoyable. Astoria’s Riverfront Trolley runs
daily along the waterfront in summer and weekends in the off-season.

Shopping in the Astoria-Warrenton area is always a pleasure. From unique boutique-style shops to major
department stores, you will find everything you need right here in our communities. The Chamber supports a
strong “Shop Local” initiative encouraging locals to shop local. There really is no need to go anywhere else!
Astoria’s downtown core offers a variety of stores and businesses in a quaint, friendly and very walkable
business neighborhood. Downtown Astoria’s active and varied restaurant/nightlife scene is enjoyed by a
significant number of locals and visitors from out of the area. Outside of the downtown area you will also find
great restaurants, shops and other services available throughout the community.
Warrenton’s downtown is developing its own small-town community of businesses under the city’s master plan,
and convenient shopping is readily available. The Warrenton Highlands area along Hwy 101 is now home to
several new stores that have added new jobs, products and services saving locals a trip out of town to shop major
chain stores.
The advances in medical care options in the Astoria-Warrenton area have increased significantly over the last
decade or so. The communities are served by two major hospitals, Columbia Memorial and Seaside Providence –
both of which continue to build and expand their services. In addition, there are countless private practice
specialists, clinics, urgent care facilities, hospice, hearing, vision, dental, chiropractors, mental health, physical
therapy and alternative medicine services available to residents throughout the north coast and lower Columbia
River basin.
Columbia Memorial Hospital Since 1880, Columbia Memorial Hospital has been committed to providing
compassionate healthcare in a healing environment to the people of the Lower Columbia region. CMH, the thirdlargest employer in Clatsop County, is a full-service, 25-bed, critical access, not-for-profit, Level IV trauma
center. As a Planetree-affiliate hospital, CMH subscribes to the philosophy that we can best serve our patients
and the community by providing the latest in medical technology in a healing, nurturing environment that
encourages their involvement and participation. We believe in peaceful, comfortable surroundings; warm and
supportive caregivers; and access to health information and education to help our patients get well faster and stay
well longer.
As part of its continuing effort to enhance its healthcare offerings and facilities, CMH recently completed an
expansion and renovation of its Surgery Services Department. Main features include a new, state-of-the-art
outpatient endoscopy center, renovated operating rooms and the addition of a three-story, mixed-use office
building, which houses a number of existing departments. In addition, CMH, in conjunction with Oregon Health
Science University, has expanded its service directory to include the CMH/OHSU Cancer and Cardiology
Clinics, as well as a new Telemedicine program.

of its rich educational tradition. ASD provides strong programs in all academic areas and specifically has a fine
reputation throughout the Northwest in the areas of Art and Drama. Graduates of 2010-2011 earned over $1.6

students. The district opened up the first full-day Kindergarten program in Clatsop County striving to meet the
student’s needs at the beginning stages of school. ASD has a very dedicated staff that works hard with students

Oregon, Oregon State University, Harvard, the U.S. Air Force Academy and other prestigious institutions. All
schools provide additional assistance for students in afterschool programs and the district has a strong
commitment to student and staff health through its Wellness program.
The Knappa School District, which serves the region east of Astoria, continues its long-standing tradition of
educational excellence. Knappa graduates over the last 100 years have made significant contributions to the
region, state and nation in a variety of careers and professions. Despite declining state funding for schools,
Knappa Schools maintain an emphasis on preparing all students for success in college and career; provide all
high school students with a laptop computer or I-Pad 2; continue small class sizes in all grades; insure that all
students read at grade level by grade 3; provide twice a week music classes for 4th and 5th graders; provide full-
day, no-cost Kindergarten; and provide Advanced Placement and career technical classes at the high school.
Their dedicated and talented staff, combined with tremendous community support from the Knappa Schools
Foundation, insures the district’s continued excellence even in tough times. The school board and community are
justifiably proud of Knappa Schools and its plans for the future.
