Downtown Astoria will
soon have a new craft beer
bottle shop and taproom.
Self-described beer geek
Dwayne Smallwood, a man-
ager at Okie’s Thriftway
Market in Ocean Park, Wash-
ington, for the past 27 years,
is quitting his day job and
opening Bridge & Tunnel
Bottleshop & Taproom with
his wife, Pamela Fox.
Smallwood moved to the
Northwest from Wiscon-
sin 27 years ago to help take
care of his grandmother after
leaving the military. A week
after arriving, he took a job at
Okie’s Thriftway Market.
“I’ve brewed a few beers
of my own, but nothing I’d
be proud enough of to go
and risk opening a brewery,”
Smallwood said. “But I drank
so many great beers, that I
really just got sick of having
to go hunt them down.”
The last couple of years
have been spent visiting
regional brewers and bottle
shops while building rela-
tionships to get a wider selec-
tion of beer on the North
Coast, Smallwood said. He
GEARHART — As the
city’s Planning Commission
met last week to discuss goals
for the new year, one item rose
to the top.
By applying for a state
Department of Land Con-
servation and Development
grant, the city could be among
the first to develop a coastal
resilience plan. The $14,000
grant would be used to evalu-
ate the city’s risk to the Casca-
dia Subduction Zone tsunami
hazard and decide which land
use measures to develop and
implement to help reduce the
city’s risk.
These provisions would
likely result in changes to the
city’s land use ordinance and
its comprehensive plan.
“Planning with resilience

recently started building out
his shop behind closed blinds
at 1390 Duane St., inside a
former floral shop and next to
Creations Studio and Gallery,
recently opened by mosaic
artist Kai Raden.
Smallwood is planning
16 taps and a wall of cool-
ers carrying a wide assort-
ment of regional and interna-
tional beers. Downstairs will
be reclaimed wood bars and
chrome bar seating, while
upstairs will be a lounge he
said his wife described as
“lumberjack chic.”
Bridge & Tunnel will
open amid a cluster along
Duane Street that includes
Pilot House Distilling, Rev-
eille Ciderworks, Reach
Break Brewing and Fort
George Brewery. Astoria has
six breweries and a growler
shop. Hondo’s Brew & Cork
includes a brewer, bottle shop
and homebrewing supply
store. Bridge & Tunnel will
try to stand out by focusing
on the harder-to-find brews,
Smallwood said.
“It’s not what’s great, it’s
what’s next,” he said of beer
culture. “So I’m going to try
and focus on what’s next.”
Smallwood hopes to open
Bridge & Tunnel by Fort
George Brewery’s Festival of
the Dark Arts in February.

I82 is the main route
through central Washing-
ton’s Yakima Valley, which
produces many of Ameri-
ca’s hops, cherries, apples and
mint. The state has deemed it
safe to remain open but has
placed 44 shipping containers
— filled with concrete barriers
and weighing 9 to 14 tons each
— at the bottom of the ridge to
keep random rocks from tum-
bling into traffic.
The hillside has been slid-
ing since at least October,
when authorities began mon-
itoring huge cracks in Rattle-
snake Ridge’s western slope.
At that time, the landslide was
moving at less than an inch per

day. More recently, it has been
measured sliding at 2.5 inches
per day.
Looming over all this are
memories of a massive March
22, 2014, landslide in the com-
munity of Oso. That slide
killed 43 people and covered
1 square mile with mud and
debris. And more recently this
month’s deadly landslide in
Southern California.
Authorities have already
evacuated about 60 residents
who live in trailers and a few
buildings near Union Gap,
population 6,000. They are
staying in paid hotel rooms
for five weeks, although their
future accommodations are up
in the air.

UNION GAP, Wash. —
A slow-moving landslide in a
fertile farming region in Wash-
ington state has forced evacu-
ations as officials prepare for
what they say is inevitable —
the collapse of a ridge that sits
above a few dozen homes and
a key highway.
People in Washington are
especially wary of landslides
following one in 2014 north
of Seattle that swept through
a tiny community and across a
state road, killing dozens.
Experts say the slide could
happen as soon as late January
or early February above Union
Gap, a small agricultural town
in the rolling brown foothills
of the Cascade Range. A chunk
of one ridge about the size of
24 football fields is expected to
break off, spilling an estimated
4 million cubic yards of rocks
and dirt.
Opinions on the impact
vary widely, ranging from little
damage to widespread flood-
ing, especially in Union Gap.
Some worry floodwaters will
stretch into Yakima, which has
94,000 residents and sits just a
few miles away.
Also nearby are the
Yakima River and Interstate
82, which connects Oregon to

Commissioners showed
initial reluctance to submit the
application, especially with an
impending deadline of Jan. 31.
But with much of the paper-
work already prepared by rep-
resentatives of the Depart-
ment of Land Conservation
and Development, objections
faded.
The information could be
used not only in land use plan-
ning but in other aspects of
emergency preparedness and
risk reduction, Connell said.
If the grant is awarded,
the work may be contracted
to a consultant or completed
by city staff. “We’ll still have
the citizen involvement pro-
cess and the adoption pro-
cess so that we’re transparent
to get all the input we need,”
she said.
Members of the Planning
Commission gave their unan-
imous consent to submit the
grant proposal.
“If we don’t get the award,
we don’t get the award,” Con-
nell added.

broad range of natural hazards
and other threats that coastal
communities must contend
with,” stated a 2015 report
by the Oregon Partnership for
Disaster Resilience prepared
for Clatsop County.
What is now lacking, City
Planner Carole Connell said,
is data specific to Gearhart.
If selected among grant
applicants, the city would
receive data from state’s
Department of Geology and
Mineral Industries, includ-
ing the “beat the wave” mod-
eling and mapping program
and damage estimate results
for infrastructure, buildings
and people in various disaster
scenarios.
“This gets really into the
facts and figures — where do
we need to harden services,
what we don’t know and
where we should be going,”
Connell said. “This is taking
the next step for a government
to come up with a detailed
