The Forest Service, part of the Department of Agriculture, announced which newspapers will be used to publish legal notices for the Pacific Northwest Region, including parts of Oregon, Washington, and California. These notices are important for informing the public about decisions and projects affecting national forests and grasslands. The list of newspapers will be in effect for a year and will help the public know where to find information on how to comment, object, or appeal these decisions. Newspapers like The Oregonian for Oregon and The Seattle Times for Washington will be used, among others, for different national forest areas.
