tl;dr: monthly pinball tournament may become more of a…community gathering. Also your group can host an event here so get in touch ♡

My Dear Friends,

“Third Sundays at 5PM” is our longest-running event. We’ve been here more than five years, so that’s nearly sixty pinball tournaments, sixty winners, and sixty token-filled trophies, each topped with a pinball taken from one of our games.

And sixty months is how long it took me to arrive at a realization, which is this: I don’t actually care very much who is Best At Pinball. Oops!

There are some who do. There are folks who would miss the competitive aspect of our “Third Sundays” series. I do want to continue to serve them.

But I also particularly want to invite you especially, to play pinball with someone you don’t know, in a space where everyone is welcome and cared for, no matter their difference. So pinball on third Sundays at 5 PM is still a thing, but we’re going to be experimenting with the format and I am asking for your help. If you have some time to invest in helping to conceptualize, plan, and/or (most especially) lead our monthly event, I invite you to get involved and join our brainstorming team. We will be open on Sept 20 until 8 or 9PM for everybody, with or without a formally organized event depending on what ideas develop. (Those who arrive will be free to organize their own activities or friendly competitions on the spot.)

And since you have read this far (thank you!), I’ll just mention a couple more things. I’m inviting you to host an event for your community at North Coast Pinball. It costs less than you may think. Text me at 503-343-4783 and I’ll fill you in. Plus I’m also in touch with someone who is looking at starting a local chapter of Belles & Chimes, an inclusive pinball club by and for women and femmes. If you would like to be involved with this, I would love to get you introduced to them.

Hello fellow BBQers!
Cranberry guy here… I’ll be at the market for the last time this season with my usual selection of
trail mixes, duos, trios (semi dried cherries, blueberries, and cranberries) and great deals on
1 lb and 2 lb bags of just cranberries.
Come on down to the market for some darned good produce available from my neighboring growers Kingfisher Farms (we just had some of Brian’s oh so sweet corn on the cob tonite) and
today procured 2 boxes of luscious tomatoes from Moon River farms for canning tomato sauce –
and maybe a bit of salsa! Lovely flowers from Autumn and the kids next door to me are always a great addition to your weekend festivities, and delicious treats from Gingifers Kitchen also next door to me is a can’t miss stop on your way thru!!
As a side note, I will also be selling the usual suspects at the Pine Grove event happening

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend, stop by and heckle me at the market!
And Thank You Carolina! You do good work!!

We are in need of a few new volunteers at Nehalem Bay Food Pantry (a program of Nehalem Bay Community Services). We are the only food pantry in the county that is open 4 days a week so we are quite busy and it takes a number of folks to keep open and able to give the best service in terms of food resources and compassion. We are looking for volunteers who can commit to one 4 hour shift a week. Flexibility is possible for each person. We also are looking for a couple of people who can offer tech support and/or data entry, perhaps on your own time. Someone who can help with translations into Spanish would also be great. And a big hope is to find someone who may be interested in learning to serve as assistant manager. Big asks, I know. If you would like to hear more or visit us please contact me at the above email.
Thank you to everyone who participates in helping to make our community one of compassion and abundance.

Attention orchestra musicians!

The North Oregon Coast Symphony (NOCS) is seeking additional violinists, bassists, percussionists, and horn players for our upcoming season. Founded in 1994, we are a community orchestra with the mission to bring live classical music performances to audiences along the North Oregon coast for the benefit of the musical arts and education in our community.

We currently have 38 members, and rehearse weekly on Tuesday evenings in Seaside from 6:30-8:30 pm. We present three concert series per season, and perform two concerts per series. We perform in Nehalem, Seaside, and Astoria. Musicians need to bring their own instrument and music stand, play at the advanced high school level (no audition required), and be able to regularly attend rehearsals. There is always opportunity for carpooling from the far flung areas of the North Coast (members currently come from as far away as Astoria and Bay City). Come join us, make new friends, and have fun playing with others!

Please visit our website to learn more about our history, see concert dates for the 2026-27 season, and to hear recordings from past concerts:

Have you tried the Porch Light Restaurant? It recently opened in the old Manzanita Light House. It”s located on 101 between Manzanta and the Chevron Gas station. What a pleasant surprise. We finally had a chance to try it and the quality of the food and its preparation were excellent. There are plenty of delicious options for gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian. Now that is unusual in our community. The words, plenty of options and and excellent quality and preparation stand out. As a bonus, they are open when most of our local restaurants are closed. Well worth giving it a try and Bon Appetite!

Dear Community,

Restoration work is set to begin next week in the Nehalem estuary, reconnecting nine acres of wetland north of Wheeler to natural tidal influence for the first time in nearly a century!

Once part of a much larger wetland complex, the fragmented McCoy marsh will be reconnected to the Nehalem River and to Botts Marsh, the 35-acre tidal wetland directly to the south. These wetlands provide habitat for more than 125 species of birds and critical rearing habitat for Chinook and Coho salmon. Both marshes are owned by the Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LNCT) and stewarded by the Trust with the help of community volunteers.

LNCT is undertaking the project with the guidance of a robust Technical Advisory Team, including the Wild Salmon Center, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Tillamook Estuaries Partnership, and the Nehalem Bay Watershed Council. The project is supported by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) and the Wild Salmon Center, with funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), and the Tareen Filgas Foundation.

The project will breach perimeter dikes in three locations and excavate 1,465 feet of new tidal channel. Large natural wood structures will be placed within the new tidal channels and across the marsh surface to increase habitat complexity and encourage diverse scrub-shrub and Sitka spruce swamp plant communities.

The loss of tidal wetlands is a major stressor for the Nehalem Coho salmon population. Estuarine habitats—the marshes, wetlands and channels where freshwater rivers meet the ocean—are essential to salmon as they transition between freshwater and saltwater environments. These habitats provide young salmon with food, shelter and areas where they can rest and grow before continuing their migration. The location of McCoy Marsh is an ideal stopover spot for juvenile salmon migrating downstream from the Nehalem River. The restored marsh will be the first opportunity for juveniles to find critical refuge habitat as they reach the open bay, which is especially critical during storm events. This project offers an opportunity to reconnect the marsh to the natural processes that once shaped it.

The project reflects LNCT’s long-term commitment to protecting and stewarding the Nehalem Bay region. Through conservation, restoration and community stewardship, the Lower Nehalem Community Trust is working to protect a network of lands that provide important habitat and create a buffer between developed upland areas and the region’s critical estuary ecosystems.

Restoration construction is scheduled to take place through the end of September with re-planting and monitoring continuing through the year and beyond. Project updates will be posted on LNCT’s website and social media channels. We invite you to follow along at www.nehalemtrust.org!

This is a repost of our press release with an update. The start date of this project has been delayed by a week. The road closure at McPherson Creek will be September 3rd through October 2nd. We will update again if this changes.

Habitat Restoration on McPherson Creek and a Road Closure You’ll Want to Know About

The Nehalem Bay Watershed Council (NBWC) is proud to announce the implementation of a habitat restoration project on Crook Creek Road this summer that will give local salmon access to over half a mile’s worth of historic spawning grounds.

Our salmon are famously born in freshwater creeks and streams then migrate to the ocean to live adventurous lives, returning to freshwater to build their redds and spawn. Federal and Oregon State recovery plans list barriers to fish passage to and from these habitats as a key limiting factor to the recovery of Oregon Coast coho salmon.

Replacing the failing McPherson Creek culvert that runs beneath Cook Creek Road with a bridge will be a major game changer for local salmon and for the humans that use the road to access outdoor recreation spots and industrial timberlands.

Nehalem Bay Watershed Council Executive Director Zac Mallon shares that, “The McPherson Creek Project will provide important spawning and rearing habitat to coho salmon and other aquatic species. The new bridge will also ensure that Cook Creek Road doesn’t blow out in the winter which is a very real risk as the culvert is currently 80% blocked!”

The road closure on Cook Creek Road at the McPherson Creek culvert will last from August 27th through September 19th.

Project Location: 45.7036, -123.7532

We know how much people love to get outdoors up Cook Creek Road and appreciate your patience during the construction process. We look forward to the new bridge providing a safe passage upstream for both people and salmon!

This project is made possible by NOAA’s Community-based Restoration Program funding in partnership with the Wild Salmon Center.

The Nehalem Bay Watershed Council collaborates with local landowners, nonprofits, and agencies to restore native habitat for salmonids and other aquatic species.
