U.S. 101 South - Tillamook to Newport

U.S. 101

A small city of 4,675, Tillamook is home to the Tillamook County Creamery Association, makers of cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products. The company's Visitor Center and manufacturing plant, located along U.S. 101 in the north part of town, is a popular tourist draw.

Like most cities along the Oregon coast, Tillamook takes the brunt of weather systems moving off the Pacific; annual rainfall here tops 90 inches (compared to about 40 inches at Portland). Nevertheless, the overall climate is quite mild and snow and ice are extremely rare.
