Description

Officials say that caustic chemicals from the tank failure at Nippon Dynawave Packaging reached the Columbia River through storm drains and ditches. Industrial facilities in Longview, Wash., are seen across the Columbia River from Rainier, Ore., on April 29, 2026.

Contamination from the catastrophic chemical tank failure at a southwest Washington pulp and paper mill has flowed into the Columbia River, officials confirmed Wednesday, opening a troubling new chapter in what could become the region’s deadliest industrial accident in modern history.

MARSHFIELD SUN PRINTING MUSEUM OPEN THIS SUMMER Why do we call capital letters “upper case” and the other letters “lower case”? Why do we call it “typing”? Find the answer to these and much more any Wednesday through Saturday summer afternoons when you visit The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The Sun’s original—and now historic—printing presses and other fascinating equipment can be viewed up close as skilled volunteers interpret and demonstrate how they work. Printing Museum volunteers also answer questions about the Museum’s exhibits on printing and office technology, as well as on the life of the Sun’s founder, Jesse Luce. Combine a visit to the Marshfield Sun with a visit to the nearby Coos History Museum for a jam-packed afternoon of interesting local history. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum is a unique printing museum located at the north end of Front Street on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The unusually shaped building was built as the home for the Marshfield Sun newspaper and print shop in 1911. The Marshfield Sun was a working newspaper office and print shop from 1891 to 1944—and is today essentially as it was left in 1944, plus additional exhibits on the walls and upstairs. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum’s regular summer hours begin after Memorial Day and go to Labor Day: 1pm – 4pm, Wednesdays through Saturdays. Admission is free, although donations are encouraged.
