'''Seaside''' is a city in [[Clatsop County, Oregon]], United States, on the coast of the [[Pacific Ocean]]. The name Seaside is derived from ''Seaside House'', a historic summer resort built in the 1870s by railroad magnate [[Ben Holladay]]. The city's population was 7,115 at the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=U. S. Census Bureau Quick Facts: Seaside, Oregon |url=https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/seasidecityoregon/PST045224 |access-date=May 1, 2025}}</ref>

==History==

The [[Clatsop]] were a historic Native American tribe that had a village named ''Ne-co-tat'' (in their [[Chinook language]]) in this area. [[Indigenous peoples]] had long inhabited the coastal area.

About January 1, 1806, a group of men from the [[Lewis and Clark Expedition]] built a salt-making [[cairn]] at the site later developed as Seaside. The city was not [[municipal incorporation|incorporated]] until February 17, 1899, when coastal resort areas were being settled.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Leeds|first=W.

In 1912, Alexandre Gilbert (1843–1932) was elected Mayor of Seaside. Gilbert was a French immigrant, a veteran of the [[Franco Prussian War]] (1870–1871). After living in [[San Francisco, California]] and [[Astoria, Oregon]], Gilbert moved to Seaside where he had a beach cottage (built in 1885). Gilbert was a real estate developer who donated land to the City of Seaside for its one-and-a-half-mile-long [[Promenade]], or "Prom", along the Pacific beach.

In 1892, he added to his beach cottage. Nearly 100 years later, what was known as the Gilbert House was operated commercially as the Gilbert Inn since the mid-1980s. Both it and Gilbert's eponymous "Gilbert Block" office building on Broadway still survive.

Gilbert died at home in Seaside and is interred in [[Ocean View Abbey Mausoleum]] in [[Warrenton, Oregon|Warrenton]].

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of {{convert|4.14|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which {{convert|3.94|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|0.20|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web|title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |access-date=2012-12-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120702145235/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |archive-date=2012-07-02 }}</ref>

Seaside lies on the edge of the [[Pacific Ocean]], at the southern end of the [[Clatsop Plains]], about {{convert|29|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of where the [[Columbia River]] empties into the Pacific. The city is developed on both sides of the [[Necanicum River]], which flows to the ocean at the city's northern edge. [[Tillamook Head]] towers over the southern edge of the city.

The geography associated with the gradual slope of the broad sandy beaches of [[Clatsop Spit]] provide excellent conditions for the formation of beds of millions of [[Pacific razor clam]]s annually. The razor clams attract thousands of visitors to Seaside Beach each year.<ref name ="clams">{{cite web|title=Oregon's Clams|url=http://www.clamdigging.info/Seaside.html|publisher=clamdigging.info|access-date=2016-04-22}}</ref> Waves attract surfers all year round from the challenging point break off the tip of Tillamook Head to the sandy shores at "the cove" parking lot at Ocean Vista Drive.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dailyastorian.com/news/point-break-offers-awesome-but-dangerous-surfing/article_df253fc8-e66c-5602-90ea-a9d5b4dca8a5.html|title=Point Break offers awesome, but dangerous surfing|last=Anderson|first=Don|website=The Astorian|language=en|access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoors/surfing-in-oregon-it-makes-sense-really/|title=Surfing in Oregon?

Seaside has an [[oceanic climate]] (Köppen ''Cfb''), typical [[Pacific Northwest]]  climate, bordering very closely on a [[warm-summer Mediterranean climate]] (Köppen ''Csb''). It receives rainy winters and mild-to-cool summers. Mean high temperature in the warmest month, August, is roughly {{convert|68|F|C}}. The warmest heatwaves, however, occur in September. The hottest day on record was {{convert|95|F|C}}, which occurred on both September 23, 1943 and September 24, 1974.

===Tsunami inundation zone===
[[File:Tsunami evac sign Seaside Oregon.JPG|thumb|A tsunami evacuation sign in Seaside.]]
Part of Seaside is located in a tsunami inundation zone. Among other preparation, the City of Seaside has embarked on a program in which residents above the zone are asked to volunteer to store within their homes barrels of medical supplies, water purification systems, emergency rations, tarps, and radios, with each barrel having enough supplies to last 20 individuals for at least 3 days. As of January 2017, there are 119 barrels within volunteer households and a waiting list of interested households.<ref>[http://www.cityofseaside.us/Emergency%20Preparedness/Tsunami%20Barrel%20Program Tsunami Supply Barrel Program], City of Seaside.</ref>

Seismologists estimate that there is a one in three chance that Seaside will be hit by an earthquake and tsunami within the next fifty years.<ref name=New-Yorker-Kathryn-Schulz-November-4-2016>[http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/the-really-small-ones The Really Small Ones], ''New Yorker'', Kathryn Schulz, Nov. 4, 2016.</ref>  On Tues.

{{Anchor|Dorchester Conference}}<!--please do not edit name in [[template:anchor|anchor template]], between curly brackets-->Every spring until 2016 Seaside hosted the Dorchester Conference, a convention of Oregon political activists, typically conservative, independent, or center-right. This convention was founded in 1964 by then-state representative [[Bob Packwood]] as a forum for all Republicans statewide.

In the 1990s, it became dominated by members of the conservative branch of the party. Over the years the conference has attracted visits from presidential candidates, debates between Republican primary candidates, and discussions of wider political and social issues.<ref>[http://www.dorchester.org/ Dorchester Conference<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It is run by an independent board and is not formally affiliated with the [[Oregon Republican Party]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/03/oregon_republican_party_were_n.html|title=Republican Party: We're not Dorchester|newspaper=The Oregonian}}</ref>
