Located above the Public Works building (the old Fire Hall) at 35900 8th Street, the City's Meeting Hall provides for over 5,000 sq. ft. of meeting room space.  With a full kitchen along with 20 tables and 200 chairs, the Hall can accommodate a large and varied number of events.  The Hall has hosted everything from small family dinners and meetings, to large wedding receptions and community dances.

With a total capacity of 280, it is currently one of the largest meeting facility between the Cities of Tillamook and Seaside.

Insurance Requirements

We require all users of the Hall to provide us with Insurance Coverage in the amounts of a minimum of $200,000 bodily injury, $50,000 property damage and $500,000 for any number of claims.  However, if alcohol will be present at your event, we require an additional CERTIFICATE OF LIQUOR LIABILITY insurance in the amounts of a minimum of $1,000,000 per incident.  If alcohol is to be sold as part of your event, you will be required to obtain an OLCC Permit and provide the City with a copy.

While some organization and homeowner's insurance policies may qualify for such coverage, most do not.  A Special Events Insurance Certificate can be obtained through the Event Helper website.  Using The Event Helper, you can acquire the necessary insurance coverage at a substantially reduced rate versus most private carriers.
