Happy Hundredth, Station Tillamook!

On March 7, 1908, the Barview Lifesaving Station was established approximately 11 miles north of Garibaldi, Oregon. Today marks the 100th Anniversary of that event. Many things have changed since that day:

• In 1942, the original station was sold to a private buyer, and a new station was constructed in the town of Garibaldi.
• In 1981, the current station was constructed.

In the 100 years since the Station first started standing watch, the Tillamook Bay Station has stood the watch over one of the most treacherous sections of coastline in the Pacific Northwest. Happy Birthday Station Tillamook!
