Rededication of the Seaside & Clatsop County Arboretum
Friday, May 29th at 3 pm
The arboretum showcases utility-line-friendly, short trees for the North Coast. After a devastating storm in 2007, the City of Seaside, the Seaside Museum, the Chamber of Commerce, and Pacific Power partnered to develop the original Arboretum. In 2025, the City and the museum partnered with Pacific Power Foundation to refresh and add new trees to the Arboretum.
