The coast is calling, and so are we. We’re getting ready to reopen the Manzanita Oceanfront Inn, formerly the Sunset Surf, and couldn’t be more excited to bring this longtime coastal property back to life.

After a full renovation, the inn will offer a thoughtfully refreshed guest experience while keeping the charm and location that people have loved for years. As we prepare to open our doors, we’re building a team that takes pride in their work and wants to be part of something meaningful in the Manzanita community.

We’re currently hiring:

Night Audit (Part-Time)
Maintenance Technician (Full-Time)
Housekeeping / Laundry (Full-Time)
Houseperson (Seasonal, Full-Time)

These roles are a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a newly refreshed oceanfront property and help shape the guest experience from day one – the kind of experience that lingers long after people leave. If you’re local, looking for steady work, a supportive team, and want to be part of a team that does things with care, we’d love to connect.

Endorsement For Mary Faith Bell, Tillamook County Commissioner

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Vote for Mary Faith Bell…Tillamook County Commissioner.

Your vote in this May election matters, and I encourage you to cast your vote for Mary Faith Bell.

Her service to all of us in Tillamook County has been steadfast and strong for several years now. She understands the problems our County faces. And once a challenge is set, Mary Faith has demonstrated time and again that she faces things squarely and does not shy away from hard work. She is especially notable for her ability to listen to all sides of an argument or problem and then skillfully work to pull people together and get the job done.

Her dedication is real and when you look at her years of service on boards in addition to the County Commissioners, it is amazing to think of the time and talents she invests every single day on our behalf. (Those boards include the Tillamook Bay Community College Board, Northwest Oregon Housing Authority, and Tides of Change.)

I have worked with her more closely since becoming Mayor in Manzanita, so I have had a chance to see her work up close and to learn more about what the work of a commissioner is. Mary Faith is a strong and resilient leader who is in it for the long haul. In a time when our challenges are not simple and will not be solved overnight, her optimism about possibilities combined with her practical and determined approach are just what we need in Tillamook County.

With best wishes to all,
Kathryn Stock

Art in the Manzanita Library May and June

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: susantone@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
NTLF Art in the Library Series presents the work of Shirl Ireland for May & June in the Manzanita Library. From the time the art cart appeared in her first grade classroom, Ms. Ireland was stamped an artist. Her passion for drawing, painting and creating took her to college for Art, then led to a life lived as a self-employed artist for decades. Her plein air painting has been featured in PBS, BBC, and National Geographic programing. Shirl’s professional work extends beyond plein air to studio work including murals, functional art, handmade lighting, and fabric design. She authored and illustrated a children’s book focused on Art and taught Art too!
Shirl was commissioned for commercial projects by Six Flags in New York, restaurants around D.C, Great Camps of the Adirondack Park, ski-in mountain homes in Park City Utah and Big Sky Montana. Her paintings can be found throughout the U.S. and Canada, in England, France and Australia and in the collection of the U.S. Department of Interior in D.C.

“I have had the extreme good fortune to live in truly amazing landscapes, now here on the Oregon Coast in Manzanita. You can find me fostering my plein air painting addiction often on the beach, but regularly at the Manzanita Farmer’s Market this summer.” S h i r l I r e l a n d. com

Repair Cafe Volunteer Spotlight at the Heart of Cartm

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: hoc.repaircafe@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
We have a repair cafe coming up this Saturday from 3-5. If you’ve got something to fix, come on over to the heart of cartm website and sign up!
www.heartofcartm.org/repaircafe

And today we want to hold up the work of expert fixer Dick Park with this spotlight!

We have some wonderfully handy people volunteering with the Repair Café every month and have decided that you all need to know more about them! In this newsletter we are highlighting Dick Park, one of our expert fixers who has been offering his cheerful competent repair support since almost the beginning! Dick generously allowed me to interview him and learn more about how he gained his skills. Hopefully through this we can also learn from his experiences!

Dick Park was born on a farm in southern Idaho and was blessed to have a father who was mechanically inclined that he could learn from. Following him around on the farm, Dick learned by watching. His father couldn’t just call someone to come fix his farm equipment – there wasn’t the time or money for that – so he fixed things himself. Fortunately, farm equipment was made to be repaired.
Dick loved to tinker with things as a child, taking things apart and then seeing how they go back together. When he was in 7th grade, he built a tractor out of the parts that were available to him.
Shortly after high school his uncle recruited him to come to the Pacific Northwest to work for Boeing. The company hired him to be a draftsman and then finding that he didn’t yet know how to do the job they enrolled him in a 14-week course. This opportunity gave him the training that he would use his whole adult life.
As a young man Dick served in the Navy, attended the Oregon Institute of Technology, and got married! He worked for the University of Washington in their applied physics lab doing underwater research for the navy. During this time he says he watched the engineers doing mechanical things and learned from them, not just how to do something but also how to approach the problem of making something work.
After his retirement he started doing computer design, always going back to the design before he would make something. He loves wood working. He and his wife Kathy designed and built their home together, and Dick has built many wooden items including boxes and furniture.
At the repair café, Dick specializes in fixing lamps, wooden items, anything electronic and is fearless about taking things apart.
Dick and Kathy are moving away soon, and we will miss them. We will miss Dick’s presence at the repair café!

Any suggestions for cost effective internet on the coast. I’m in CB and currently use spectrum.
Only for email, social media, video streaming, Talk and text. No cameras or fancy apps for shopping.
The bill went up again!!
So interested in what the folks are using as an alternative and the basic costs. I’m not super technical so something easy to switch to would be great.

VOTE for Mary Faith Bell

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead.

In this world gone haywire and our constitutional democracy threatened, it is vital that we exercise that most basicly American right to VOTE – including our right to vote by mail. This year it is even more important than ever that we vote for someone who has demonstrated that she has the capacity to capably help administrate that complex organism that is our county government as well as the fortitude to stand up to harassment. I am speaking of course of Commissioner Mary Faith Bell. Tillamook County citizens have been well served by her steadiness, thoughtfulness, experience and courage. She is quietly and conscientiously doing her part to change the world.

If you have already voted, thank you. If not yet, I urge you to vote for Mary Faith Bell.

New local website connecting homeowners with local contractors!

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: crosta21@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hey everyone,
This is Trevor Crosta

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for the North Coast community.

I just launched a simple website called Coastal Contractor Hub to help connect homeowners and local contractors here in Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler and Tillamook/Clatsop county.

The idea is pretty straightforward:
* If you have a project (big or small), you can post it for free in less than a minute, no sign ups required.
* Local contractors can reach out if they’re interested
* I help connect the right people — without all the clutter or ads of bigger national platforms

It’s meant for the kind of jobs we all deal with out here: 
rot repairs, decks, landscaping, tree work, plumbing, electrical, remodels… even the random “can anyone help with this?” projects.

A few goals behind it:
* Keep work local
* Make it easier to find reliable help
* Give local contractors more visibility
* Keep it simple and community-driven

If you want to check it out:
 www.coastalcontractorhub.com

If you’re a homeowner:

Post a project – the more projects we have up the better the site will become.

If you’re a contractor:

Browse jobs and reach out to the homeowner if you are interested. Jump on early and add your name to the directory!

And if you know someone who’s got a project and looking for good help, (or someone who does great work), feel free to pass it along — word of mouth is everything out here.

I would love any feedback too — this is very much a “build it with the community” kind of project.

MuSICAL STORYTIME FOR PRESCHOOLERS AT THE MANZANITA LIBRARY

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sdawagner@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo is the featured story for North Oregon Coast Symphony’s May Musical Storytime. This zany picture book follows a boy who attends a concert next to the zoo. Bored with the performance, he begins dozing off when suddenly the animals take over
the stage. The humorous verse is full of zoo creatures and instruments that children will want to learn more about. The artwork is vibrant and
engaging. Children will be giggling at both the song and the illustrations, such as the one of a hippo playing a tuba.
These free readings, for children ages 2 to 5, will feature a live accompaniment by multiple North Oregon Coast Symphony musicians; including flute, oboe, drums and violin. After the reading, preschoolers will participate in making their own music with a variety of instruments provided.

The violins used in this program were purchased
through a grant funded by Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

The first reading will be held on Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 10:30 at the Astoria Library. There will be a second reading at the NorthTillamook Library in Manzanita on Monday, May 11, 2026 at 10:30. The
last story time will be held at the Seaside Library on Wednesday, May13, 2026 at 10:30.
Similar events are planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library, Seaside Library, and
Astoria Library. For more information, visit the symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org. or www.astoria.gov/dept/Library at 503-325-7323.
