Does Seaside have a good healthcare sector? I’m currently in nursing school but looking at my options after I graduate. I’m living in my hometown of Sacramento but I want to live near the ocean due to increasing summer temps. My goal was to move to the Bay Area or San Diego but housing here is getting bad and the expenses are going up. A couple of my friends have moved up north so I’m thinking of doing the same if things don’t work out for me in California.

I like cold, and I’m not a night person

Are drones impacting the lives of the special birds that are roosting?

You don't have to shovel rain.

Why move to Texas like 100s of thousands have done in the past 10 years. It’s 100 degrees and 70% humidity in Dallas Texas right now, 7/1/2025. It feels like 110. Sweaty hot and sticky. I’ll take the worst of a place like Oregon any day.

Spanish Head is a cool motel but I don’t think it is nearly as popular of a resort as the one with 5 restaurants and a golf course. Have you ever done anything other than drive through Lincoln City and check it’s Wikipedia?

Please if you move here dont bring your liberal crap we already suffer from that

Could you make a video on buying a used manufactured home? They are so prevalent in the Florence area where I am looking (online, from afar). I'm not asking about communities -- info like that is googleable. But building specifics such as: Why don't realtors post the serial number and brand name of the home? Is t111 siding worthless after 30 years? Is a 40+ year old manufactured home in Florence a waste of money? Can you pick up hints about the foundation by looking at some detail in the listing photo? Are there clues to whether the building is insulated? Do older manufactured homes have non-standard door and window sizes and plumbing that make it hard to find parts and labor to repair them? Is it even harder to find repair people for manufacture homes than it is for regular homes? Are they more susceptible to mold than traditional structures?

Drinking water is the biggest reason for the towns not expanding. We need to be careful about expanding the towns too quickly.

COME ON, MAN! SHOW MY TOWN; NOT YOUR FACE!! 🤔 Sad tourism has taken over. The Seaside aquarium IS "THE" AQUARIUM, and was there years before the Newport one. Rain IS Seaside weather! LOL 😂You dont have to own a house to live there. You can rent an apartment/bungalow on the back side of the town; where all the murders arent hsppening, drunken tourists being loud at night when you have to wake up early for work! 🙄( We can thank all the drunken tourist)

Where all the fun happens... and lynchings!! 😮

No work, no social interaction and extremely expensive rent. It’s Not affordable and I know because I had to move after 10 years.

I have been watching your videos this week because we are going to the coast for a vacation. This video has the background music too high and it's competing with your monologue. It is also not a soothing toon. I will try to get thru the video but it is like water torture. Generally I have loved your videos. Great channel.

show the village instead of your face

Any updates on Newport OR?

We bought a house in Florence that we will live in when I retire. Part of the reason is our doctors, dentist etc., are all in Eugene. We can do our annual and non emergency appointments easily, it's about an hour and 15 minute drive. There is an ER and hospital in Florence as well.

I love Seaside. I was just there a few months back. And yes, the natives are rightfully upset with being essentially priced out of their backyard. It's a strange predicament since roughly 85-95% of their economy is driven by tourism.

I love sea side, Warrenton, Astoria, long Beach ilwaco Washington is an awesome place to live.

Great video, Seth! I appreciate how well organized, helpful, and balanced your pros and cons were. Wondering if you’re seeing more or less sun and fog in the warmer months on the coast in recent years?

Horrible medical and dental system, rain will get you down if you let it, too many homeless druggies and transients, weird tendency of contractors & workers to no show, no call. Higher costs for pretty much all food, disposables and building supplies. Don't mention you are from CA, you will get rude comments, but only for the first two years, lol. But, if you enjoy nature it has the most awesome uncrowded beaches, nearby national forest and an easy access port to the ocean. I cruised for nearly 5 hours thru the national forests the other day and saw one other vehicle. Amazing, rugged and beautiful.

I really enjoy your videos. Oregon coast is my favorite place ❤

If you move to the southern coast be ready to wait for months for a contractor. And be prepared to pay more to bring them from inland. We waited 6 months for a new roof, 3 months for new flooring and had to bring in window replacement people from 2 1/2 hours away. You will be waiting to get into any kind of doctor, if you can even find the doctor you need in your area.

Paul, it's interesting that you should compose a subject such as this one! because my wife and I recently visited Brookings and we particularly liked it; I even thought of maybe relocating there one day. But I learned while we were there that there was no hospital in Brookings (even though they have a adequate medical clinic), and was told by the staff at the medical clinic that if I would need emergency treatment I would have to be taken to the hospital at Gold Beach (about 30 minutes away). I'm a disabled person in a wheelchair and regularly need some hospital treatment. I go to the Bay Area Hospital in North Bend/Coos Bay for my medical needs.

cold, wet, dreary, no summer-just an early spring...Had the worst healthcare in Florence. The doctor has a reputation too, he is just repulsive.

About 8 years ago we bought a small (800sq foot) cabin in Coast village in Florence off of Spruce St. For now it is a vacation home for us. We got it for a pretty good price, even then. Coast Village is a unique place, there is an HOA but we do own our lot as well. My neighbor has the lot next to us and they just bring their trailer in when they are there, so there's a lot of different options.

How hard is it to find electricians, plumbers, painters and roofers in Coos Bay area? ❓❓❓❓❓❓

Upspeaking badly. Like, you agree with me? I live on the Oregon coast.

This is why you go with these guys. They're helpful, informative, and honest. Florence is the choice I made after researching and being a subscriber for two years. However, not sure if I can live there because of frostbite in my hands when I was in the service and I tend to get intermittent stinging when rain is in the forecast in CA.

I'm a 69 yo car camping lady veteran with $5 grand worth of monthly pensions, but I enjoy my nomad life and don't want to pay rent, utilities wifi (my nieces gave me a plaque which says "I Can't Adult Today"! 😅), and I'm going to be camping along the Oregon coast starting early July. My only concern is finding places I can park overnight without getting "The Knock," and where gyms are where I can take a shower. Why don't you do a video on THAT? Lol.

Let's see what you know?

Wow, you skipped Coos Bay. You have lost all credibility.

Having driven and worked the southern half of the coast for 25 years, I can reflect on preferences of towns. *Towns I'd never live in: Seaside...a total dump, what are they thinking; Port Orford...locals are very trashy, vagrant types; *Towns I might live in: North Bend...north bay only for its many custom homes; Coos Bay...ho hum; Reedsport...for it's close access to the lower Umpqua river valley, just beautiful; Florence...maybe too busy and touristy, but most amenities available; *Towns I'd definitely live in: Brookings...weather; Gold Beach...many different neighbor- hoods and areas; Bandon...small, given to higher numbers of golfers visiting the well known courses, a few niche shops and restaurants. Towns-Areas most vulnerable to tsunami or big quakes: Yachats; Ophir to the Cali border; Bandon...directly east of the junction of contin- ental plates, potential ground zero for the "big one." Anyone moving from places like SoCal will have culture shock for some years.

Waldport has best fleamarket in the world 30 years old and thriving Wednesday and Saturday fresh food and art market Cafe Bistro Museum

True Waldport is a gem

I,d leave if I could this crime drug infested leftist paradise!

I grew up in Coos Bay back in the 60's and 70's. When the timber industry finished raping and pillaging the land they packed up and left by the early 80's. You couldn't get a job then if someone died and willed it to you. Crime was and still is rampant. The police force is corrupt, and the city and port authority is full of corrupt people only interested in lining their pockets. I left there in 1982 and occasionally visited family and friends over the years. It has steadily worsened over time. I will say that the houses for sale there are mostly cracker jack boxes full of mold and built oh so long ago so you know asbestos is in them, along with loads of lead paint. They are so over priced for what you get! 15 years ago those houses couldn't be given away. Nothing has changed economically there in 5 decades. There are no jobs there that you can get to support buying a $350k home. Nepotism is in full swing there. The biggest industry there is in the drug trade, and theft. Also, the politics there are set for big industry and against small business. The business taxes there will starve you out. I have nothing good to say, other than the beaches are nice but it will cost you to see them, occasionally the weather cooperates and makes for an occasional day. Watch your back and be wary of anyone trying to sell you something that just isn't true. If I could encourage just one family not to move there I will feel that this post was worth it and perhaps even saved a life. This place truly is depressing and full of desperate souls. Don't be one of them!

Seaside is a pit, dilapidated carny-town.

Research the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. It is predicted to be a 9.0. Everything will be toast from the Oregon Coast to Interstate-5, according to geologists.

Half a million for less than 1200 sq feet in Newport is now about the average.

You should have name of those towns written in the corner while you talk

They come for the peace and tranquility, then complain about no restaurants, no nightlife, no jobs, maybe no Starbucks (OMG!). We have little shopping, not a lot of amenities, lots of nothing to do. Rent for a month and see if you like it. If you like it, rent another monthe in January...THEN see if you like it. THEN google "Cascadia Megathrust Earthquake". Welcome to the Oregon Coast!

Nice job....

THANK YOU

Your information is much appreciated 👍🏼

Useful information, but the. “ you know” is very annoying.

The signs are white/blue.

First thing I noticed moving out here on the coast was the darkness and the stars just popping out of the sky! I had never seen so many stars before! But, when it is dark, not too inviting to be out in the dark with deer, opossums, bears and the like starting to come out to play and look for dinner. Also, if you have a car break down, hard to get any service, possibly cell service and also knowing just where you are. Down side is we used to have an almost private beach that only the locals knew about, but now it is hard to find a place to park to get there, fortunately we live 1000' away from the ocean and it is a pleasant walk to there.

Very helpful video! We'd love to see the link, please!

Please don't.

Bro you picked the worst day to film.
