POV info moved from main page[edit]

Every summer the population of Seaside increases double. And theyre there for one thing only- The Beach! When theyre at the beach they want to play in the water and the place they go is the Seaside Surf Shop located on the main highway coming into town. They have wetsuits, surfboards, and bodyboards for familys to rent and enjoy. For the less adventurous, you can go to the Prom Bike Shop and rent bicycles to cruise around town. The Fourth of July is the peak of the season and everything speeds up from there. The hiking up on the Tillamook head is insane and fun. Theres an Arcade downtown that you can take the kids to, it has bumper cars video games, taffy parlors, elephant ears, you name it.

The way this is currently written, it is unencyclopedic, sounds like original research, uses the wrong person (second person), and sounds like an advertisement for the surf shop and bike shop. Please read about what Wikipedia is not so you can understand what we are looking for. In a nutshell: Wikipedia is not a tourist guide, and we strive to maintain a neutral point of view, which means leaving out words like "insane" and "fun". Thanks.

Title[edit]

Why the name is "Seaside, Oregon" instead of "Seaside (Oregon)"? --Andyrom75 (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a city in Oregon named Seaside; according to the article naming disambiguation guidelines this is the proper way to write it. If the article were about generic seashore in Oregon, that would be written Seashore (Oregon) per the same guidelines. —EncMstr (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

schools and tsunami inundation zones? ?[edit]

Seaside Voters Back Bond To Move Schools From Tsunami Zone, OPB [Oregon Public Broadcasting], by R.J. Marx, Daily Astorian | Nov. 9, 2016.

'Seaside School District voters said a resounding “yes” Tuesday to a $99.7 million bond to move three schools out of the tsunami inundation zone.

'In a 65 percent to 35 percent vote, residents endorsed the plan to replace deteriorating schools at an 80-acre location in the city’s East Hills adjacent to Seaside Heights Elementary School. . . '

' . . . The bond came three years after a failed $128.8 million dollar plan. The scaled-back proposal eliminated an auditorium, covered bleachers, long-term emergency shelters and a varsity playing field. . . . A home with an assessed value of $200,000 would see a tax hike of about $270 and a $400,000 home about $540.'

Important subject. Now the article includes a photo which seems to be of another school district entirely of an elementary student hiding under his desk during a tsunami drill. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 18:04, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Snowy Winters?[edit]

The climate section says "Seaside has a typical Pacific Northwest coastal climate, receiving snowy winters and mild-to-cool summers." This seems like an error and they meant to say rainy. Snowy winters are not typical of the Northwest coast, and for Seaside in particular the sources I found say it has an annual average snowfall of zero.
