THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2018
What do you think about all the hotel proposals in Astoria?
“I’m against them. I
think it’s blocking
our riverfront, and
I have lived here all
my life, so I don’t
like it.”
“I think they’re good
because it brings more
tourists to the area, which
increases the business for
local small businesses. Lo-
cal people might not like that
because of the traffic, but I think
it’s good to bring tourists to the area.”
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“For the most part I
do support the hotels,
but I do think we
need to be mindful
of people’s concerns
and mitigate them as
much as possible.”

The Daily Astorian
Bank of the Pacific is clos-
ing branches in Warrenton and
Naselle, Washington, early
next year as the use of physi-
cal branches declines.
Both locations will keep
an ATM. Warrenton accounts
will be consolidated into the
bank’s Astoria and Seaside
locations, or a branch of a
customer’s choice, on Feb. 1.
Naselle accounts will be con-
solidated into Long Beach
and Cathlamet, Washington,
locations.
Denise Portmann, presi-
dent and CEO of parent com-
pany Pacific Financial Corp.,
said in a release that the
moves are based on the declin-
ing use of physical branches
and advancements in online
banking.
“We believe optimizing our
branch network plays a signif-
icant role in prudently allocat-
ing our capital resources,” she
said.
The company estimates the
closures will save $437,000
in annual operating expenses,
while costing $60,000 for sev-
erance pay, write-down of
fixed assets and other clos-
ing costs. Two of the four
employees at the Warrenton
branch will be laid off, while
two others will be reassigned,
The Daily Astorian
Bank of the Pacific will close its Warrenton branch at
651 S.E. Marlin Ave. early next year.
ria and Seaside. The same
year, it opened the Warrenton
branch on Marlin Avenue.
According to data from
the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corp., “The city of War-
renton has the smallest aver-
age branch size for banks in
Clatsop County compared to
other cities within the county,”
Portmann said. “We believe
our customers will have min-
imal disruption as we trans-
fer their accounts to neigh-
boring branches in Astoria or
Seaside.”
A letter will soon be sent
to affected Bank of the Pacific
customers with information
about the transition. The let-
ter will include an invitation to
early December open houses
at the branches before they
close.
Portmann said. The Warren-
ton branch will continue to be
used as administrative offices,
with an ATM outside.
The majority of employ-
ees at the Naselle branch will
be relocated because of retire-
ments and other opportunities,
Portmann said. The bank will
try to keep the ATM in place
or find another location in the
Naselle area, while upgrading
the machine to handle depos-
its, checking and other ser-
vices, she said.
Bank of the Pacific, head-
quartered in Aberdeen, Wash-
ington, has three locations in
Oregon, including Warrenton.
The bank first opened a com-
mercial lending center in Gear-
hart in 2003. In 2013, it bought

Born Nov. 11, 1953, in Portland, Oregon,
Jeffery Thomas Gallinger attended Holy Fam-
ily Grade School in southeast Portland, where
he skipped fifth grade. He attended De La Salle
North Catholic High School and graduated in
1971, at the age of 17.
After high school, he started with Simson
Concrete and then worked for Pepsi Bottling Co.
for six years. From that point, he went wherever
his work took him, from branding cattle in Mon-
tana, to selling mattresses in Alaska, to building a
log cabin in Washington state from lumber felled
on the property, to helping friends and family
with various building projects and odd jobs.
In the late 1990s, he moved to Seaside to help
build the new Safeway. He got to know many
people in town through the bingo program —
both playing and calling — at Our Lady of Vic-
tory, where he was also a cook for the church’s
Sunday supper program. That led to Jeff cooking
for the American Legion, as well.
Jeff’s interests included gardening, eventually
becoming an expert on cultivating orchids. He
was an excellent cook, always trying new reci-
pes, and an avid reader. He loved fishing from the
time he was 7 — whether it was on the Deschutes
River or in the Pacific Ocean — and crabbing and
clamming at the Seaside coast.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Joe and
Rosemary Gallinger; his brothers, Paul and Mark
Gallinger; and his son, Riley Gallinger-Long. He
is survived by his sons, Zack and Wyatt Gall-
inger-Long; his grandsons, Christopher and
Alexander Gallinger-Long; his siblings, Jay Gall-
inger, Margorie Keene, Mary Gallinger, Bridget
Abbott, Blaze Gallinger, Barbara Pearson and
John Gallinger; and a large circle of friends in
Seaside.
He will be buried on his best friend’s family
property overlooking the Columbia River.
