Astoria/Warrenton they are so close together it is hard to tell which one is which. I think a bridge is all that really sets them apart if I remember correctly. It has been years since I was up there, before the old replica of Ft. Clatsop burnt down and they rebuilt.
I love the area up there. I doubt it would be that bad of a drive to Seaside.

I think it is a 10 minute drive from Warrenton to Astoria. I love the mouth of the Columbia, such pretty scenery and Astoria is a very charming town. Kindergarten Cop was filmed there :D:D:D

Even though I can't make it to this one, it's been fun reading the thread. My family roots are in Astoria (my mom's side of the family). I enjoyed watching parts of the filming of The Goonies - the house they used was just down the street from our house. Got to see the actors up close. Lots of movies filmed in the Astoria area during the 80s-90s but not much since then.
Warrenton is just across the John's Bay bridge. Very close. Seaside is another 15-20 min. further down Hwy 101. Easy peasy. Hope you all have a great time! Any room for an extra if I can swing over on Saturday for a few hours??
