Thank for your suggestions.  I will be in Portland for a week for a meeting
so hopefully I will have time to check out Powells.  I took your suggestion
regarding Tillamook and have found a motel room for $33/night (less then the
Motel 6 in Seaside)

Thanks Again!

>Dear Peter,
>Be sure to stop in Powells Bookstore in Portland. It's great! Located at
10th and Burnside.
>Don't stay at Seaside or Cannon Beach if you want reasonable housing. They
are tourist towns, but interesting in their own right. I would suggest
staying in Tillamook, which has very reasonably-priced motels. There is a
wonderful loop road out of Tillamook that goes around 3 capes with great
tidepools. You will have to do some walking to get to the pools.
