Garibaldi sits on Tillamook Bay along Oregon's north coast, where Highway 101 winds through a community of 825 residents. This is a retirement town. Median age is 57.1 years, well above Oregon's statewide average. The town occupies less than one square mile between the bay and coastal foothills, with streets like Garibaldi Avenue, 1st Street, and Highway 101 Avenue forming the compact downtown core.
This is a PO Box Only Zone. There's no alternative mail delivery. The post office maintains 632 PO Boxes for 407 occupied households, a ratio of 1.55 boxes per home. Mail is delivered via two rural carrier routes covering the small town and nearby waterfront areas. The high adoption rate doesn't just serve local residents. It shows that people from surrounding bay communities and seasonal visitors rely on the Garibaldi post office as their mail hub.
Many homes serve seasonal use. Of 530 total housing units, 92 are vacant for seasonal or recreational purposes (17%). Street names tell the story of a coastal Oregon community: nature-focused names like Evergreen Avenue, Birch Avenue, Cypress Avenue, and Driftwood Avenue mix with numbered streets and waterfront references like Bay Lane, Mooring Basin Drive, and Miami River Road.
Median household income is $52,372. Median home value is $307,600. The compact town supports 46 business establishments employing 303 people. About 18% of workers commute from home, higher than most small towns, pointing to retirees and remote professionals drawn to the coastal setting. Ownership dominates rentals (255 owner-occupied vs 152 renter-occupied units). 98% of housing was built before 1939 or in later decades, with a mix of historic fishing village homes and newer coastal construction.
All mail must be addressed to a PO Box:
