About Long Beach, WA Weather Station
Who runs it?
This weather station is privately owned and operated by Jackie Sheldon. It is not affiliated with the City of Long Beach, WA.
Founder's Note:
Mike Challis founded the first Long Beach Weather website in 2006. "I was frustrated that mainstream weather sites were using Astoria reports for Long Beach," says Mike. "As a computer and web enthusiast, creating a useful, accurate weather resource for our community was a rewarding project."
Since relocating to Florida in 2020, Mike continues to operate his business, Mike's Computer Tech, providing expert remote IT support and consulting for businesses across Oregon, Washington, and Florida. He remains dedicated to ensuring the site he founded continues to serve the community that was his home for many years.
In 2020, Mike donated the station hardware to local weather maven Jackie Sheldon, who now owns and operates the station. The site was relocated from 81st and Sandridge to its current home near 196th Pl. and Pacific Hwy. Mike is proud to leave the 642weather legacy in Jackie's capable hands.
Station Location
The station is located at a private residence in Long Beach, WA, near 196th Pl. and Pacific Hwy. Prior to February 2020, it was located at 81st and Sandridge Rd.
