The state needed approximately $5.4 million
worth of damage for the federal designation.
Port most affected
At least two-thirds of the reported damage in
Clatsop County came from the Port, one of the
largest waterfront landowners in the county.
By Brown’s estimates, the Port recorded
$830,000 worth of damage because of wind,
waves and debris coming down the Columbia
River and settling around the central waterfront.
Robert Evert, permit and project manager for the
Port, said the agency is still gathering damage esti-
mates from tenants such as Bornstein Seafoods,
which reported damaged pilings underneath the
