It's that time of year again, Seaside! Students in our area will begin heading back to school on Monday, August 31st! The Seaside Police Department, in partnership with the Seaside School District, wants to remind all drivers to stay alert and help keep our students safe.
That means more buses, bikes, and pedestrians on the move—so let’s all drive with extra care.
Our officers will be out in school zones and along bus routes to keep everyone safe. A few quick reminders:
School zones = 20 mph, always. Traffic fines increase within school zones!
Avoid phones or distractions while driving. Your text or call can wait- keep it safe!
Stop and watch when red school bus lights are flashing. There were over 1,100 illegal passings observed by Seaside school bus drivers during the '25-'26 school year!
Always double-check for kids walking or biking at intersections, crosswalks, and driveways.
Let’s kick off the 2026-2027 school year safely—welcome back Puffins, Sharks & Gulls!

Improper use of fireworks can turn a celebration into an emergency.

Nearly one-third of fireworks injuries involve the hands and fingers, and almost one in five involve the head, face, and ears.

Celebrate responsibly.

UPDATED: 06/26/2026 - event cancelled

Due to forecasted rainfall and shifting coastal weather conditions, the Incident Command and General Staff team made the decision to cancel this year’s training and associated burn.

ORIGINAL: 06/25/2026 - Prescribed Burn Planned at Camp Rilea June 27-28, 2026

The Oregon Military Department and Clatsop County fire agencies will conduct a prescribed burn at Camp Rilea beginning at noon on June 27 and June 28 as part of the 2026 Northwest Oregon Wildfire School.

Smoke may be visible throughout the weekend and for several days following the burn.

The project serves multiple purposes:

• Provides live-fire training for firefighters.
• Reduces wildfire risk by removing excess vegetation near an active firing range.
• Supports habitat restoration by reducing invasive plants such as Scotch broom and promoting native vegetation.

Residents who notice smoke should limit exposure when possible. Sensitive groups, including children, older adults, and people with heart or lung conditions, should avoid prolonged outdoor activity in smoky areas.
