Dr. Waldo Cory Melrose Johnston III died in a backcountry skiing accident after summiting Mount Hood on Feb. 25, 2020, on his 47th birthday.

I am writing about the residency requirements for short term rentals (STRs) in Hood River County. Many STRs are owned by non-residents who live elsewhere. Many are second vacation homes; most don’t have permits. The permit application for a STR requires the owner state they live in the house for 30 days or more in a calendar year. If so, a person can have 12 different residences in a calendar year.
