A Portland 11-year-old girl died after she
was swept out to sea last Thursday afternoon
by a tide north of Haystack Rock in Cannon
Beach.
Offi cials say the girl was located by a
U.S. Coast Guard aircrew and brought back
to shore by a jet ski and rescue swimmer.
She was fl own to a hospital. She was iden-
tifi ed by her family as Lily Pearl Markwell,
11, of Portland.
In an obituary, the family said Mark-
well died on Friday at Providence St. Vin-
cent Medical Center in Portland after being
pulled from the water on Thursday.
“Lily was a spirited, beautiful girl since
before she was born,” the obituary said.
“When she wasn’t reading a book (fantasy
was always a favorite) she was out fi nding
adventure — rock climbing, swimming, bik-
ing, or just playing with her siblings. Lily
was a joy to be around. She was usually very
straight-faced, skeptical and a little sarcas-
tic but always kind, especially to those who
were vulnerable or overlooked.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to
help the family with medical and funeral
expenses.
Ninth county resident
dies of coronavirus
A ninth Clatsop County resident has died
from the coronavirus.
The Oregon Health Authority described
the person as an 89-year-old woman who
tested positive on April 11 and died at home
on June 1. No other information was imme-
diately available.
The health authority has recorded 1,060
virus cases in the county. Twenty-fi ve were
hospitalized and nine have died.
There has been a spike of more than two
dozen virus cases reported over the past
week.
A spokesman for the county said Monday
that the cases are tied to households, gather-
ings, workplaces and schools.
He said none of the cases tied to work-
places have reached the state’s threshold for
disclosure, which is fi ve for workplaces with
30 or more employees.
The county declined to provide any
more information about the cases.
Parking change on
Ocean Vista in Seaside
Speeding vehicles and limited visibility
prompted the Seaside City Council to enact
a parking restriction on Ocean Vista Way.
“When you are coming around, you’re
coming down Ocean Vista, and you’re going
to make a left on to Beach Drive, you cannot
see around because of the cars there,” City
Councilor Tita Montero said.
The Transportation Advisory Commis-
sion reviewed the parking issue at the inter-
section of Ocean Vista Way and Beach
Drive and came to the conclusion that park-
ing on the west side of Ocean Vista should
be eliminated, Public Works Director Dale
McDowell said at Monday’s City Council
meeting. “Vehicles are parking on the grassy
shoulder next to the Tides chain-link fence,
narrowing the traffi c lanes to a mere 13 feet
wide.”
In the last year-and-a-half, people have
started parking on the grass “when there’s
really no need to,” McDowell said. “There’s
normal parking on that side of the street,
up to the ADA ramp and that’s as far as we
want it to go. So we would sign everything
beyond that point.”
The advisory commission recommended
designating the area as “no parking this side
of street” from the existing asphalt Ameri-
cans with Disabilities Act-accessible ramp
to the end of the fence.
The change will aff ect three spaces,
McDowell said.
Mayor Jay Barber and city councilors
Randy Frank, Tom Horning, Tita Montero,
David Posalski and Steve Wright unani-
mously approved the parking change. Dana
Phillips was absent.
