The Wake Up, LLC

“The Wake Up, LLC” is a community publication for Reedsport and nearby communities.

We are a small area with interesting people, businesses, and places to visit. It has been many years since we have had an opportunity to learn about such things.

There are also current events which need our attention.

In May and November 2026, there will be important elections which will impact our areas directly. We will inform our residents about issues, candidates, and why their educated votes are important to the well-being of our community, state, and country.

An educated populace is important for honest elections and effective governments.

New businesses are opening. What are they bringing to our communities? What’s new with anchored businesses in our area? How are they keeping up with the changing times?

We will cover as many topics as possible per issue. One of the most important topics will be births and obituaries. Without this information, we do not know who is “coming and going” in our communities. We need to know.

The idea behind “The Wake Up” is to help make people aware of their community and their world.
