One of the reasons this site was created was to provide residents and visitors one web site that contained everything they wanted to know about our area and community.  Several sections have been updated recently.  We hope you find the new information useful.

Community Energy Planning - The Oregon Department of Energy has released a new Energy Planning Tool to aid communities in their quest to understand, identify opportunities and develop plans to sustainable practices.  Thank you Dave Thomas for making us aware of this document. 

City Public Records on-line
Yachats is working to make all public documents available using a web browser.  All new documents are now being added to a new database that can be accessed via the Internet.  The site will be known as the Yachats Document Library.  Using this new service, it is now possible to search public records using both key words and pre-defined search criteria.  If you do not have Internet access at home, Library volunteers are prepared to help you use this service.

New Area Maps
Several new maps have been added to the maps section.  The aerial photos with streets provides a unique perspective on our area.  The contour map with streets extends from the north of Yachats to Ten Mile and a good distance to the east.  It provides a dramatic sense of the vertical relief of our area.  And finally, the Gerdemann Garden map provides a detailed view of this remarkable site.

New Brochures Available
Brochures for Yachats City Trails and the new Wetland Park are now available. They can be obtained in City Hall, the Visitors Center, and on this web site under Attractions. In addition, a second link for trails is under Maps

Why I live in Yachats:
Where I live is a reflection of who I am and how I want to live. It is my home, an extension of my soul. It is where my spirit rests and plays. I share it with the people I love and that makes all the difference.                     source: unknown
