A release said offices in the courthouse and the Justice Center, along with all external offices, the landfill and transfer stations will not be open. The Umpqua River Lighthouse and Coastal History Museum in Winchester Bay will operate as usual. All county operated parks, campgrounds and boat ramps will be open and accessible as well.
