"Pacific Power & Light meets
all our service emergencies”
says P. H. Laighton, Realtor in Seaside, Oregon
"AND those emergencies are really some
thing. Not only do we have severe winter
storms that keep the PP&L boys on their
toes, but we have other problems peculiar
to vacation spots.
“Seaside’s permanent population is about
5500, but during the summer months it
becomes Oregon’s second largest city, with
a population of 35,000 to 50,000. PP&L must,
and does, maintain facilities capable of
handling this tremendous seasonal peak.
“I remember Seaside as it was 59 years
ago, when I moved here with my parents.
It was a vacation spot then, but there were
only a few scattered houses and limited
hotel accommodations. Two to three hun
dred vacationists made a record season, and
most of them brought tents and spent the
entire summer.
“Seaside’s early electric system would
get over-loaded with only a few hundred

OF
vacationists in town. Lights would often
burn only a cherry red, interruptions were
frequent, and oil lamps were standard equip
ment in every household.
“Ever since PP&L took over here, the
company has been a great factor in the
steady growth of Seaside, anticipating our
electrical needs and supplying dependable
service under all kinds of conditions.”

Mr. Laighton, a native of Astoria, has been a resident of
Seaside since 1886. His first job was in the old Logan mill
where a steam engine drove the dynamo supplying
Seaside’s first electric service—available at first to only
a limited number of business houses.
After leaving the mill, he drove a horse-drawn stage
between Seaside and Arch Cape, the 28 miles constituting
a dawn-to-dark trip. With no roads, the route was down
the sandy beach, and departure time depended on the tide.
While driving stage, Mr. Laighton became convinced of
the development possibilities of the coast communities,
and in 1908 entered the real estate business. He has taken
an important part in the development of both Seaside and
Cannon Beach. He served as postmaster at Seaside for a
total of 19 years, and served eight years on the city
council, including one year as mayor.
