Marketing Summer Tastes
By TIM HIRSCH of the Sun
Farm-fresh produce, crafts from local makers and more will be on hand when the Pacific City Farmers Market returns for another year serving the community and visitors of the area.
The market, which will be found at the parking lot of South Tillamook County Library, 6200 Camp St., Pacific City, opens on Sunday, May 25 and will serve those seeking some fresh produce, artful creations, and more, each Sunday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., through September.
Also on the agenda is an opportunity to get your groove on with some lively entertainment, fellowship with friends and neighbors, and more.
While the range of vendors couldn’t
be confirmed at press time, past line-ups have enabled attendees to take home a wide variety of regional fruits and vegetables, micro greens, baked goods, cheese, smoked nuts, honey, arts and crafts, and more.
Nehalem Bay State Park to partially reopen May 23
Nehalem Bay State Park will reopen day-use areas including trails and the boat launch on May 23, but the campground will remain closed through at least June due to ongoing construction.
“We’re excited to welcome visitors back to the park, and we appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to improve the park experience,” said Park Manager Ben Cox.
The day-use areas opening include the boat ramp, the south day-use parking area, the airport and the multi-use path east of the main entrance road. The main entrance from Garey Street will be reopened to the public at the same time to serve the day-use areas.
The campground and the Horizon Street entrance will remain closed to the public through June while work continues in the campground. The campground is slated to reopen as soon as July 1 depending on the construction schedule. The park will open campground reservations in the next few weeks for dates starting in July.
Check the webpage for updates.
The construction work at Nehalem Bay includes: upgrading water and electrical lines within the camp loops; adding a restroom/shower building to serve increasing visitation and provide more accessible facilities (accessible features include adult changing table for visitors with disabilities); adding an accessible restroom and accessible campsites to the horse camp; adding hose bibs to horse camp sites; renovating and adding additional accessible campsites and paths; repaving the main entrance road; adding traffic calming features to park entry road from the Garey Street entrance to the airport intersection; and adding a new dayuse fee station near the airport intersection. The work at Nehalem Bay was made possible by general obligation bonds, a $50 million investment approved by the Oregon State Legislature in 2021. It’s one of nine projects at eight parks focused on building capacity, increasing accessibility and maintaining aging park infrastructure. Visit the Go Bond website for a complete list of projects.
A WIDE-RANGE of fresh produce, one-of-a-kind crafts, and a weekly slate of music will be featured at the Pacific City Farmers Market, which debuts on Sunday, May 25.
FRESH VEGETABLES will be available to attendees of the Pacific City Farmers Market, which runs 10 a.m.-2 p.m. every Sunday through September. Pacific City Farmers Market to debut Sunday, May 25

“ALL THEY DO IS ADVERTISE.” WELL, THERE’S LOTS MORE TO IT
By Nan Devlin, Executive Director Tillamook Coast Visitors Association
Ever since the tourism organization was launched in 2014, the “all they do is advertise” has been a refrain we hear a lot. In fact, advertising is a small percentage of our annual funding.
We do a whole lot more than that — much more than any other city or county tourism organization in the state.
Our strategic plan, which we update every three years, is built on four values, first developed in 2014 by a county-wide tourism advisory committee:
1. Develop the tourism industry in ways that are socially, culturally and ecologically responsible, particularly in support of nature-based activities and complementary interests, differentiating our region for visitors.
2. Prioritize growth in tourism that improves economic conditions in the shoulder and off-seasons, supporting the economic stability of the workforce.
3. Improve communities’ abilities to better accommodate visitors and the visitor experience with new, enhanced or better utilization of tourism-related facilities for year-round use by locals and visitors.
4. Inspire growth in new and traditional industries to support the long-term priorities and economic stability of county tourism. These values are supported by 12 initiatives, each with multiple action goals. We continually work to complete them and/or ensure they are ongoing. Here are the 12 that guide us in all we do, along with two examples of actions.
1. Advance sustainable destination management
• Promote respectful visitor behavior through Leave No Trace education campaigns and signage (we are launching this now).
• Help communities develop destination management plans (seven communities so far).
2. Lead and support stewardship programs
• Partner with visitors and civic groups for environmental learning through our “Volunteer Adventures” program (in two years, we’ve hosted 11 groups and have many more scheduled).
• Sponsor and support growth of Explore Nature series (handson programs managed by Tillamook Estuaries Partnership and Friends of Netarts Bay).
3. Enhance public safety resources
Career Connect is a collaborative program of Nestucca High School and Tillamook Coast Visitors Association. It introduces students to the many career opportunities in hospitality and tourism. Above and below, at right, students get onsite experience at Headlands Lodge & Spa. Below, at left, students partake in learning at Stimulus Coffee + Bakery.
• Install signage about tides, riptides, King Tides in key areas (done through the wayfinding program).
• Fund tsunami signage in communities (two communities in south county have benefited from this).
4. Improve access to trails and outdoor recreation
• Partner with and help fund Trailkeepers of Oregon (TKO builds and maintains trails throughout the county).
• Make outdoors more accessible to more people (tourism invests in and funds maintenance of 9 beach wheelchairs, 4 David’s Chairs, 2 kayak launchers).
5. Position Tillamook Coast as a culinary and agritourism destination
• Continue to manage the North Coast Food Trail, now in its 8th successful year (a Crave the Coast event will be a month-long celebration of local foods in October).
• Partner with Port of Tillamook Bay on building a Food Innovation Hub and Commissary Kitchen (now seeking funding sources).
6. Preserve and showcase cultural heritage and the arts
• Facilitate the Tillamook Coast History Alliance (and seek funding that encourages recognition and activities of our museums and historical sites).
• Sponsor arts and performing arts (such as Neskowin Chamber Music, Riverbend Players, NCRD’s Music Series, Rockaway Writers’ Rendezvous, among others).
7. Foster tourism-driven community development
• Fund Wilderness First Aid certification courses (to date, 80 community members have been trained).
• Continue focusing on off- and shoulder-season development for year-round employment – this was a county commissioner mandate to tourism in 2014. Ready for this? In 2014, the 9-month, non-summer lodging revenues totaled $20,702,112. In 2024, they were $82,011,833. Quadrupled.
8. Empower and engage the tourism industry
• Manage the county-wide tourism facilities and marketing grants, as well as city tourism grant programs (to date, the county has funded nearly $6 million in facilities grants and $1.2 million in marketing grants).
• Support meetings and conference business through tillamookcoast.com (and this was just thoroughly update).
9. Develop a skilled and resilient workforce
• Develop online courses to assist the tourism industry (now underway to offer training in social media, grant writing, marketing planning, event planning, etc.).
• Fund and facilitate programs that support hospitality and tourism (such as Career Connect, Co-Starters, Recipe-to-Market, guest-service training, and Certified Interpretive Guides and Trainers). We also fund two $1000 scholarships through TBCC for those in tourism-related fields such as forestry and outdoor recreation.
10. Advance equity and accessibility in tourism
• Use interpretive signage to share inclusive historical stories throughout communities (this has been done in most communities through wayfinding planning).
• Continue working with Wheel the World, an international accessibility organization (which honored Tillamook County as a Verified Destination).
11. Strengthen TCVA’s capacity and vision
• Encourage team members to become involved in local advisory committees and boards to understand and assist in local needs (we are actively involved in social services, transportation, housing, library, cultural and environmental groups, etc.).
• For continued transparency, engage in public affairs activities (newspaper columns, monthly KTIL program, presentations to community groups, publish semiannual and annual reports, and more).
12. Elevate TCVA/VTC marketing and messaging
• Grow Tillamook Coast Conversations podcast to share stories, ideas and inspiration of life on the Oregon Coast (we have 7 podcasts recorded, several more on the way).
• Use video to share stories from local voices and experiences (check out our videos on YouTube.com/tillamookcoast) and target promotions to audiences that share our interests (OPB Oregon Field Guide and radio, KOIN Oregon Harvest documentaries, Northwestern Sports Radio, Beachconnection.net, locally produced Visitor Guide, and more).
The team members of Tillamook Coast Visitors Association (Visit Tillamook Coast to visitors) are community-minded, committed to creating a tourism economy that benefits residents, businesses, visitors and the environment. We love Tillamook County!

THE USE OF electric-assisted bikes on ocean shore wet sand areas got the go-ahead at the April 23 meeting of the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission.
Parks Commission approves e-bike rules
The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission approved rule updates for electric-assisted-bikes at its meeting April 23 in Medford, changes that go into effect on July 1. These rules, 736-10-0026 and 21-0065, will allow e-bikes on the ocean shore on wet sand areas unless specifically restricted. They will also be allowed on bike and multi-use trails where other bicycles are allowed unless specifically restricted.
The Commission says the updated e-bike rules also include stronger, clearer language for safe operation and required caution, particularly around other visitors, pets, children and equestrians.
Commissioners also approved temporary emergency rules for ATV safety equipment and noise emissions after a new Oregon law transferred rulemaking responsibility to Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). Temporary rules 736-004-0150 and 736-004-0160 will keep existing rules for 180 days to give OPRD time to develop and adopt new permanent rules.
The request to adopt 736-24 -0015 concerning ocean shore vehicle access to Manzanita was postponed until the June 2025 commission meeting.
The commission approved the following grant recommendations for Recreational Trails Program grants (totaling $706,515 for motorized trails and $1,306,116 for non-motorized trails, all pending federal approval, a federally funded grant program administered by OPRD); AllTerrain Vehicle Program (grants totaling $818,718.44, and funded by ATV user permit sales and percentage of gas tax); and Veterans and War Memorial Grants (totaling $295,195, a grant program funded
by Oregon Lottery dollars).
It was the final meeting for Commissioners Steve Grasty, representing East of the Cascades, and Doug Deur, representing Congressional District 1. Both commissioners served two four-year terms, which will expire at the end of May.
“It’s been incredible to have the two of you serve this commission with your expertise,“ said OPRD Director Lisa Sumption. “I love the way that you push this commission to think about things differently and bring different perspectives. You navigated through some of our agency’s most difficult history. You were here when we had to close the parks in 2020, and you were here when we reopened them. Thank you for your steady leadership.”
Starting in June, incoming Commissioner Stu Spence will represent East of the Cascades and incoming Commissioner Dave Parulo will represent Congressional District 1. The next commission meeting will be held June 1718 in Independence.
To watch the April commission meeting or any others, visit https://www.youtube. com/@oprddirectorsoffice5783/streams and find supporting documents on the commission webpage: https://www.oregon. gov/oprd/CAC/Pages/CAC-oprc.aspx.
The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission promotes outdoor recreation and heritage by establishing policies, adopting rules and setting the budget for the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The seven members are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Oregon Senate. They serve fouryear terms and meet several times a year at locations across the state.

Each Saturday, the Market will also host live music, starting with folk artist Lauren Sheehan on May 17 and Recca Maze, who plays folk tunes from the 1950s-1970s, as well as child-friendly music.

• Ballot Measure 29-183 asks voters to approve a 4% increase in Transient Lodging Tax.
• The tax is paid by overnight visitors.
• The increase will support the Sheriff’s Office, emergency management, and upkeep for the emergency radio system.
• The Sheriff’s Office is funded by property taxes for a population of 27,000. But in high season that number can easily triple. Ask visitors to pay their fair share for services that they receive when they are here by voting ‘YES‘ on Ballot Measure 29-183.
