A shipment of wind tur-
bines passed Astoria on
Monday on their way to a
Pacifi Corp farm in eastern
Washington.
The Combi Dock I, an
Antiguan-fl agged load car-
rier, entered the Columbia
River stacked with nearly
200 wind turbine blades,
each 160 feet long, manu-
factured by wind energy fi rm
Vestas in Taranto, Italy.
From the Port of Vancou-
ver, Washington, the blades
head for the Marengo Wind
Project near Dayton, Wash-
ington. Pacifi Corp is upgrad-
ing its wind turbines to
increase renewable energy
production.
“Projects like the repower-
ing of the Marengo Wind
Project help keep energy
affordable for our customers,
while supporting our com-
mitment to a healthier envi-
ronment and cleaner future,”
Alisa Dunlap, Pacifi c Pow-
er’s regional business man-
ager, said in a news release.
“Locally, we are also boost-
ing our rural communities
by creating new construction
jobs and adding to local tax
revenues.”
The Marengo Wind Proj-
ect is part of Pacifi Corp’s
Energy Vision 2020 plan to
increase wind energy for the
company’s 1.9 million cus-
tomers by more than 50 per-
cent by upgrading existing
farms.

SEASIDE — The Shilo
Inn in Seaside owes the city
more than $45 ,000 in hotel
room taxes.
Seaside wants to collect
and has fi led suit in Circuit
Court . With penalties and
interest, the total sought is
more than $58,000.
According to the com-
plaint, Shilo Inn “continues
to withhold the payment of
these taxes, notwithstanding
numerous demands” by the
city.
The city also seeks rea-
sonable attorney’s fees.
This isn’t the fi rst time
Shilo Inn has fallen behind
on taxes.
In 2016, Seaside sued the
company for delinquent taxes
of more than $112,500 . Shilo
Inn paid out almost $146,000
in back taxes and penalties.
Earlier this year, Warren-
ton sued Shilo Inn after more
than $130 ,000 in lodging
taxes, penalties and accrued
interest went unpaid.
Representatives of Shilo
Inn did not respond to
requests for comment.
