Now I showed up at the end of the month (poor planning)...i got there 10 minutes before they opened and there was already a queue of about 30 folks. I waited about 45 minutes before my number was called. I showed up to get my first OR license, having been a Washingtonian these last 62 years....I brought the recommended paperwork with me (mail with my name and new address) and my WA DL. Now the DMV website tells you that you have to take the written test, so I had even studied up, and was crestfallen when I was told that they'd rescinded this requirement, perhaps temporarily. Passed the vision test, approved the use of my sorry organs in case i get whacked, and got my pic taken and paid the fee. Great. Bonus was that my WA motorcycle endorsement transferred with no question or fuss. Oh, and they are VERY quick to point out that if you have a valid US Passport, you dont have to fiddle with the new improved ID. Good job DMV. But next time maybe I'll avoid end of month :)

They sport a huge number of branches across the peninsula. Their library card is easy to get - apply on line for most uses, go 'full bore' by presenting proof of local residence (since we just moved here, an insurance billing statement with local address and my WDL picture ID sufficed) DVD's, books, Kindle and e-books, magazines, computers, Wi-Fi and even a limited amount of free printing (which renews weekly)! I used the printer for some color Christmas letters, worked very well! Staff was friendly and helpful. COVID protocols observed. Parking adequate. Since it's small, its might be hard to find a quiet spot, and I think some of the less fortunate use it to charge their cell phones and use the wi-fi here. Check it out! (library pun intended)

There isn't any real information on site…read more Long Beach, Washington's "World's Largest Frying Pan" is a quirky roadside attraction measuring 14.6 feet long and 9.5 feet wide. Built in 1941 for the first annual Razor Clam Festival, it originally cooked a single giant fritter made with 200 pounds of clams for 20,000 attendees. This site is a replica but even so. "Wow." As a cook, I have served people on an "Industrial" level. I mean serving thousands of people weekly. Not joking at all. I've used some big equipment. Never anything like this Pan. I could easily feed hundreds of people a day using only this pan. It makes me think of the heat source you'd need just to maintain a proper heat level and the heat the cooks standing next to it felt. Awesome. This spot has another replica nearby and is also a nice spot to sit for a moment. Of all the little statues and art around Long Beach, WA. this is one of my favorites.

It's definitely relevant for the area as razor clams are a staple here and what better way to represent them than a giant skillet next to a spitting clam! The original skillet was made of cast iron and used at the Razor Clam Festival in 1941. After the festival it went on to tour the coast for other events and Long Beach established the fiberglass one. It's 14 feet tall and a great photo op but Long Beach needs to fix it up a bit!

The former owners of the house, were not very "goonies friendly." fortunately, the new owner has…read moreembraced the "goonie--ness." the house has been restored to as it looked in the movie. There are signs asking you to park down the street, and then walk up the hill to the house, and also reminding you to please not disturb the neighbors. That's only fair. There's also a small donation box, so if you could drop in a buck or two, it would be very nice. The day that I was there, there were a good number of people there, but they were all totally respecting the property. That's all that the new owners ask. It was so much fun seeing the house.. Astoria is an amazingly scenic little town, and it has had a good number of movies filmed in town. In addition to the goonies, the original short circuit was filmed in town, as well as kindergarten cop, among quite a few others. In downtown Astoria, the jail used at the beginning of the Goonies is now the Oregon film museum. I would've loved to go inside, but unfortunately, the day I was there there was a long line to get in, and I didn't have the time. I will definitely stop there the next time I'm in town. The jail/museum shares a parking lot with the local courthouse. When the courthouse is open, parking in the parking lot is for the courthouse only, and you have to park on the street for the museum. There are signs saying that. Vehicles not following this rule will be towed. When the courthouse is not open, the parking lot is open to anybody. This is just a fun place to visit....

Read about this visitors center online and stopped here before tracking down any of the area Goonies spots. The visitors center has quite the array of Goonies merchandise that is for sale, from stickers to Sloth socks they have it all. The nice lady who was working on the day I stopped by was literally the nicest lady I've ever encountered. I'm sure she sees ton of visitors during the year but didn't not seem bothered at all with what I am sure was probably her millionth time letting people know where to go to see the sites. She even pulled out a map and highlighted what places were the most see spots and where to get the best pictures, as well as where to park to avoid getting tickets. She easily spent upwards of 20-30 minutes explaining to my buddy and I some of the history of the town as well as the history involving The Goonies. She even told us about an upcoming anniversary celebration the following year for The Goonies that I will now be making a trip back for because of talking with her. I highly recommend stopping by this visitors center to kick off your site seeing tour. They will get you squared away and will do so with the brightest of smiles.

My friends and I came to Astoria to visit the sites where they filmed "The Goonies". Since we really did not know where to start, we started here. The gentleman at the desk did not shun us for being "tourists" in this lovely town, but actually seemed genuinely happy that we came to visit. He provided us with maps of the best sites to see (since other movies like Kindergarden Cop were also filmed here), the best routes to get around and great places to eat (we were also on our own self-made brewery tour). You can't go wrong by checking this place out. At the end of the trip, we came to the conclusion that visiting Astoria was one of the highlights of our trip-- of course due in part by the kind people at the Chamber of Commerce.
