Coast Guard breaks ground on new housing
The Daily Astorian
The U.S. Coast Guard

new units of family housing in
Astoria.
Construction is expected
to be completed next year in
time for the Guard’s transfer
season between May and July.
The Coast Guard already
has 102 units in its Triumph
housing tract near West Klas-
kanine Avenue and Alameda
Avenue. The new units are
part of the fourth phase of a
development that started in
1992.

HAVE YOU SEEN MARCEL?
Family cat possibly
taken from
CANNON BEACH
Marcel was pretty new to Cannon
Beach. After being gone for 4 days,
A K9 search and rescue team
conducted a search, determining
that Marcel went on a lengthy walk
about town, ultimately ending up at
Pacific Avenue. Marcel’s scent
disappears there, indicating he was
taken from Pacific Street near
Hallmark Resort. We would love to
believe that someone well-meaning
feared for his safety, and took him
with them. We are looking for answers, and would love to know that he
is safe and happy. Mostly, we would like him to be home with us.
Marcel is a 14 year old, gray and white male. Last seen wearing a red
collar.
