Flowers Along Clatsop County, OR

A New Baby in Astoria

Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria is where most new baby orders in Clatsop County are pointed, and the stay is usually shorter than a sender two time zones away imagines it to be.

A house delivery a week later is often the safer plan, and a birthday or a thank you aimed at a workplace in Warrenton lands better midweek than it does on a Saturday.

Clatsop Care Center in Astoria takes flowers at the front desk under a resident name, and Hughes-Ransom Mortuary stands a few blocks away inside the same 97103 ZIP.

The 1 PM Line on the Coast

An order placed before 1 PM Pacific time reaches a Clatsop County, OR address on the same business day, and the six ZIP codes here, running from 97103 at the seat out to 97145, all work to that hour.

Flower delivery runs Monday through Saturday in every Clatsop town, Sunday delivery is not available, and arrivals fall between 9 AM and 7 PM.

A sender on the east coast is three hours ahead, so a lunchtime order placed there is already past the hour here, and it becomes a next working day order instead.

Holidays pull the hour forward, so around Christmas and Easter the same-day cutoff for a 97110 address can fall earlier than 1 PM.

Seven Towns Along a Long Shore

Clatsop County covers 828 square miles with 41,043 people on it, and the seven town pages run from the river at Astoria down the shore to Cannon Beach.

Providence Seaside Hospital sits in Seaside and Caldwell's Luce-Layton Mortuary sits in Astoria, which is roughly the span an order has to cover in this part of Oregon.

A chapel service on this shore often draws people from two towns at once, and the piece belongs where the service is rather than where the family sleeps, which across 828 square miles can be forty minutes apart.

Flower types may be substituted for what the florist has on hand, with no change to the size, shape or value of the arrangement sent to a 97138 address.

Beach Addresses and Rental Doors

A rental or a second home is the hardest address on this shore, because nobody may be behind the door on a weekday, and a workplace or a neighbor named on the order line does more good than a gate code.

Flower delivery to a condo wants the unit number, and a mailbox number out at Knappa is what stops a second attempt on a different day, since ZIP 97103 alone covers a large share of Clatsop County.

Gearhart and Svensen each keep a town page beneath this one, and a delivery charge applies to every order, charged once for a single address however many items are on it. The six ZIP codes here are few enough that most senders get them right, and 97121 is the one that catches people out.

Once the arrangement is finished, a photo of it goes to the sender at no extra charge. The arrangement catalog shows what can be sent, the Oregon county index covers the rest of the state, and Tillamook County, OR begins south of here.
