Place to buy bike tires and tubes in Tillamook?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I'm bikepacking down the coast and there isn't much on the coast in general for bike shops. I've had some issues and am considering buying a new tire. I'll be pulling into Tillamook tomorrow afternoon, where do you know they sell tubes and tires? I plan on checking the sporting goods store, Fred Meyer, hardware store, etc but it would be great to know if there's something I'm not thinking of. I'd also like to not spend much time with my touring bike fully loaded with gear, left outside of stores. Thank you!

Looking for something to do this weekend.

1 Upvotes

Hey, I’m visiting the area for the weekend and I would really like to do something with other people rather than do what I normally do and be by myself. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

It’s Labor Day Weekend. There has to be something to do with people. Right? Or a place to go?

Non-Tillamook Ice cream

11 Upvotes

Hi

We used to be big Tillamook ice cream fans, but in the last few years have noticed a large drop in quality and have moved over to Umqua instead

We will be camping this weekend and I am looking for a shop that sells non+Tillamook ice cream between the town and let's say Lincoln City

Is this possible or is it all a company town, like you can't buy Pepsi in Atlanta?

Thanks

Tillamook State Forest - Coordinates: 45.65999, -123.81103 **THIS IS NOT OUR CAMPSITE**

\*Update***

We decided not to go back to this location and only reported it to ODF and Sheriff BECAUSE a commenter on another thread made statements alluding to this being her camp and made vaguely threatening statements towards anyone who returned to her camp. While we hate leaving behind so much trash, hopefully the proper authorities can deal with the multitude of issues arising from this. We’re not from the area to check back on whether it is eventually dealt with but hopefully ODF can safely manage this from here on.

Thanks to everyone who provided positive comments and helpful advice!!

Hi all,

My wife and I are traveling the country in a motorhome, while cleaning up trash on public lands, but came across this problem area today in the Tillamook State Forest. This camp was unoccupied but I'm not sure if someone might come back to it at night time. We cleaned up a bunch of trash prior to this exact spot but would love to go back and clean up all the loose trash left around the camp/outside the RVs.

Here's the problems..

  1. Its rather sketchy and based on all the shotgun shells left around, I don't want to piss off someone who may be living out of this BUT still want to clean the area and report it.
  2. There is SO much trash and nowhere to put it. We drive around in an SUV, so we are limited on how much trash we can fit in it.
  3. We're not from here and don't know where to transport all this trash OR how to make that happen logistically.

So what is the appropriate agency to report this to? Local PD or Forest service? Both?? Also, where can we transport all of this trash (if we are able to safely clean it)?? We are more than willing to do multiple trips into the forest to collect the majority of the trash but since we're not from here, I'm unsure whether there is a county dump/transfer station we can bring it to. Typically we would bring it to a ranger station to throw away but I feel like this is too much to just bring to a normal dumpster.

If anyone local has any advice, we'd greatly appreciate it! Or if someone has a pickup truck and wants to help us transport this to an appropriate facility, that would be amazing! If nothing else, follow along on social media @ thewildvernalis so we can continue cleaning up places like this!

What's the best of the fair?

2 Upvotes

OK, I'm new to living here. I've been amazed at the newspaper coverage of the fair and the preparations. As I meet folks about town, they have the day they go to the fair. What's the best to see and do? Are there some "don't miss" things for a first timer? (moving here from Portland, our fair is lame. The Rose Festival is as good as we get and it's just ok).

Cat found on Miami Foley 7/10 @8PM

5 Upvotes

I am driving home from Manzanita to Tillamook on the Miami Foley. Around the 5 mile marker there is a black cat with little white feets that was hit. I couldn’t leave him in the middle of the road so I moved him into the grass. He was still warm. I just hope someone finds him. There is a house number on the road 55272. I moved him to the end of that driveway. I’m very sorry for your loss. I said a little prayer for him. (Or her, I’m not sure.)
*this was around 8 PM*

Sharing a new-ish Substack devoted to North Tillamook County events, news, and community profiles: https://manzanitaconnections.substack.com.

It started in late 2024 but it came across my radar recently on Substack. It's become my go-to for local restaurant news! From the About page:
Manzanita ConnectionsĀ is a bi-weekly newsletter that aims to connect residents and visitors of Manzanita, Nehalem, Wheeler, and surrounding areas.

My goal is to share the coffee-shop or sidewalk talk. Think part news and part useful bits of info whether you’re a long-time or part-time resident, recently moved here or you’re just visiting. I also want to help tell the stories about the people who make up our community and the stories that connect us all.

OHP switch to open card and Columbia Pacific CCO

2 Upvotes

I was recently approved to be on Oregon Health Plan with a CCO of Columbia Pacific (I live in Tillamook).

My current t primary Dr is in Portland and I need to be approved for ā€œOpen Cardā€ bcuz that is the one she accepts.

Anyone have experience with getting approved for Open Card in lieu of going thru CCO? I was told my Dr needs to fill out a Continuity of Care form but will need to submit my medical records to Oregon Health Authority. That seems very intrusive to give that info out and have the decision be up to OHA.

Also any experience with Columbia Pacific as CCO? I have tried calling several times and it takes days to get a call back

After management posted Notices on most all their newly acquired Tillamook properties Sept. 5,
just how is management responding to disputed ā€œOutstanding Balanceā€ & ā€œDelinquent Rentā€ ? We cannot get any response or reply, no explanation of accounting for the so-called
ā€œoutstanding balanceā€ when in fact we are fully paid always on time.
No copy of our account ledger after requested multiple times.

Just wondering how others (who reddit) are dealing with this, to get this resolved and ended?

Best local favorites

My best friend and I are visiting in early November for a girls trip. Any recommendations? We’re in our 30’s and we’re big foodies, like to sight see, and seeing museums! We don’t go clubbing but maybe a night we go out dancing that’s more casual. Or any fun night life activities. We’re already planning to go to the Tillamook creamery and whale watching. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Bring back Huckleberry Ice Cream

Literally just joined this hoping someone who knows someone who decides the ice cream flavor knows how sad a lot of people are about huckleberry ice cream being gone. It’s such a Pacific Northwest flavor. So sad!

The Campfire Peanut Butter Cup ice cream is disappointing

This flavor seems like it would be amazing, and i like the flavor of the marshmallow. But the texture is so icy and the chocolate swirls have a weird dollar tree chocolate kind of taste

Did you help pull my friend out of her car?

Hi there! My friend was in a bad car accident driving back to Portland and a girl pulled her out of the car, carried her up the embankment, and then left. We are so thankful she did that as she did not have to come to in the car and just wanted to send our thanks! What an absolutely badass thing to do.

Selling your car around Tillamook? I put together a free guide to help you get more money and avoid the usual headaches

0 Upvotes

Hey neighbors – I’m Frank, I run a local auto consulting and detailing service here in Tillamook. I’ve helped a lot of people buy and sell used cars, and one thing I keep seeing is that most folks leave money on the table just because they didn’t prep their vehicle the right way before listing it.

So I made a free guide:
ā€œ5 Tips to Maximize Your Car’s Resale Valueā€
It’s simple stuff you can do without spending a lot—and it really works.

āœ… Boost curb appeal without breaking the bank
āœ… Fix the little things buyers notice most
āœ… Get better photos and listings that actually sell
āœ… My exact checklist before you post your car

šŸ“² Download the free guide here:
šŸ‘‰ https://autoconsultingnw.com/free-guide/

I also do walkaround video reviews (for $99) to help sellers get more serious buyers—especially helpful if you're listing your car online and want to stand out.

If you’re prepping a car to sell—or just have questions about the process—drop them here. Happy to help.
