Early in the morning on October 23, 2026 Manzanita Department of Public Safety and the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office were made aware of a possible threat to schools in the Neah Kah Nie school district in North Tillamook County. Out of an abundance of caution the schools entered a “lock in” while the investigation occurred.
The investigation revealed that the threat was NOT credible and the schools we are reopened and returned to business as usual. “The safety of the children and the staff is our biggest priority, and I am very proud of the quick and efficient response of our law enforcement. I am incredibly thankful for the positive outcome of this situation, “ said Sheriff Joshua Brown
No further action was taken as a result of the investigation.
