Clatsop County Housing Inventory At 6 Month Low (for now)

January 11th, 2010

356.

That's how many single family homes are listing for sale in the Clatsop MLS right this minute.

Weyerhaeuser Co. announced yesterday that its Warrenton lumber mill would be sold to Oregon based Hampton Affiliates, a company with several other lumber mills in the Northwest.
