Big Sale at Historic Wheeler Hospital

(Wheeler) – Artists, antiques dealers, contractors restoring old homes, and investors in unique collectables will find items they need and their customers want for sale at the old hospital in Wheeler from July 31 to August 2.

Opened in 1955, closed as a hospital in 1989, and operated primarily for office and storage space through 2025, furniture and various fixtures remain in the old hospital, but now must be removed to facilitate environmental remediation work.

The Nehalem Bay Health District, owner of the hospital building, has gathered the most valuable objects from those heritage years to offer at bargain prices.

The historic hospital salvage sale will take place from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm from July 31 through August 2 at 278 Rowe Street in Wheeler. Follow signs from Highway 101 up Hospital Road. Free parking on site. Level access from the parking lot through an open bay door. Sale areas will be clearly marked, and not all rooms of the building will be open to the public. All proceeds from sales will support the District’s operations.

Items are available for sale in advance of environmental remediation work at the old hospital that is scheduled to begin in mid-August. The old hospital is in deteriorated condition, and the District has deemed the building unsuitable for further use. The Health District recently declared the items for sale to be surplus.

The Health District eventually plans to demolish the old hospital with the hope of repurposing the property to create workforce housing, particularly for health care and other essential workers, in order to ease the area’s chronic housing shortage.

The Nehalem Bay Heath District has served the health and senior care needs of north Tillamook County residents and visitors since 1951. The District owns the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy, as well as the Nehalem Valley Care Center, a skilled nursing facility adjacent to the old hospital. Renovation planning of the Care Center is currently underway with significant upgrades to the facility scheduled for early in 2027.

Linens, tablecloths

I’m looking to buy vintage tablecloths or other vintage linens, i.e. embroidery, cross stitch, handkerchiefs, pillowcases. I have a small business where I repurpose, upcycle, save fabrics that may have small stains or holes; I turn them into other items like aprons, bags, or patchwork items. I would love to inherit someone’s loved collection, willing to pay per piece or as a lot. My goal is to reduce waste of fibers and bring new life into pieces that may need some TLC. I have great care and appreciation for these items and would love to turn them into something that will continue to be loved and used for years to come.

Send me photos and prices. Willing to meet up anywhere between Wheeler and Tillamook.

MONTH-TO-MONTH PARKING RV, MH, BOAT ETC

$100 Monthly (or by the week) storage parking outdoor RV/5th wheeler/boat/trailer/camper/kayaks/canoes Rockaway Beach
This is a great spot for parking only. Space for storing only for your RV, trailers, boats, campers, kayaks and vehicles/cars etc. If you are planning on doing an extended vacation inTillamook county, this storage spot ‘ONLY’ is really convenient.

This is outside and unlocked area, therefore it’s your responsibility to properly lock up your equipment. I assume no responsibility for loss or damage for equipment or vehicles left on the property.
This is a for “storage parking” spots ‘ONLY’ ! NO ‘living’ in while parked and being stored. I would also consider $25 a week for shorter stays.
I own the property and live here full-time. The street and neighborhood is crime free. All immediate neighbors have cctv cameras around their premises.

Hi there- first of all thanks SO MUCH for those who turned out to the roadside “pop-up” in Wheeler last week – and here are the next two north county visits coming up in August: On TUESDAY (August 4) I will be returning from Clatsop County in the afternoon hours – and can do at least a few DELIVERIES on the way south that day – best to get on the list as soon as you can since it will be a shorter day than usual. On THURSDAY (AUGUST 12th) I will be doing another roadside “pop-up” in Wheeler in the same spot (next to Handy Creek Bakery) from 11:30-3. Pre-orders for both visits are encouraged – I will have the middle-dark raw Wildflower honey in quarts from Willamette Valley ($28 each), raw Coast Range Blackberry in quart jar ($30), raw Meadowfoam honey in quart jar ($32), raw Buckwheat honey in quart jar ($38) – and for a LIMITED time raw Macadamia Blossom honey from Hawaii (it’s amazing) – $38 each. LARGE FORMAT jars available of the loveable raw Marcola Wildflower honey – half-gallons $60 and full gallons $115. Questions? Special requests? Reach Jeff by text: 208-424-0042, or e-mail: jwmerc@gmail.com – or via instant message on the JW Merc Facebook page – if I don’t see you at YOUR place on the 4th – you can catch me in WHEELER on the 12th!!!

Q: What is a Song Bath?

Q: Can I sing along with the choir?
A: During Song Bath, we ask visitors to remain quiet. You are invited to stay after Song Bath to inquire more about becoming a choir member.

A: No. If you are more comfortable sitting in the choir circle or in a pew in the back, you are welcome to do so.

Q: Can I show up without RSVP?
A: Yes. Although we do like to have an idea ahead of time about how many people are planning to receive a song bath.

Q: Can I arrive late?
A: Yes. And we ask folks to enter and exit quietly.

North County Resistance Nehalem Protest Saturday

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Dear Friends,

Thank you to the thirty-three people who came to Nehalem last Saturday to protest with the North County Resistance. This thank you also includes you who were there in spirit! We know not everybody can make these protests. This protest is what unites us. It has been a long slog, but we see people who are not giving up. We are sure this is the case for people across our country who are not giving up.

This past week we have had more than four deaths due to our government policies. Johan Guerrero of Maine, Lorenzo Arayjo of Texas, 1st. Lt. Tyler Feehan of Hawaii, and Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Texas. Information about the 5th death has yet to be released. We send condolences to all the families.

We need the leaders of this and other countries around the world to turn down and stop the violence generated by their negative remarks. Politicians should not be in the entertainment industry-they should be representing the people who voted for them, they should be thinking about ways to bring peace rather than perpetuating war.

Please continue to send your opinions to the House and Senate. Find out who is either in these positions or is running in the midterms. If you can, bring these names and addresses to our next protest in Nehalem and we will work to distribute them. Washington D.C. is another world away from us and we need to find ways to puncture and let the air out of the way they think. They are thinking only of themselves and their own bottom line rather than the people who elected them. This must stop and we cannot give up.

See you on Saturday, July 25-in Nehalem, from noon to 2 PM. There were thirty-three of us this past weekend-let us run that number up to 50 this next week. It was hot and we all appreciated it when the wind kicked in. Come when you can and stay as long as possible physically. We will have bottled water if you need it. Again, thank you all who are there in person and in spirit.
Best,
Patty

spectacular play

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: babbles@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
hi all in BBQ-land,

i attended the play The Silent Measure friday night 7/17 at NCRD. written by Brian Churchill, it is his debut play as an author.

an exploration about relationship between AI and humans, i didn’t know what to expect. i wasn’t sure i would like it. because truth be told, i’m not a fan of AI (sometimes, i think i would like to assassinate AI).

one actress on stage in her home, one behind the screen of the AI robotic presence, the dialogue was REAL. the acting was superb. the dialogue believable and holding my interest.

i strongly urge you who missed this play to attend at the Coaster Theater in Cannon beach, 3 dates in august, or 3 dates in september at the Ten Fifteen Theater in Astoria.

whenever you make it, enjoy! feel free to give me feedback.

om peace namaste
