What is “The Estacada Citizen”?

“The Estacada Citizen” is a blog created by Lily Shaver in 2024, with a vision to connect the people of Estacada. Estacada is growing in leaps and bounds. More and more houses are being built, and our town is growing. As we grow, this blog strives to bridge the gap between the old-timers and the newcomers. Have you heard about Carl Prokop and his legacy in Estacada? Check out his interview. Did you participate in Track and Field at Estacada High School? You might have heard of Dick Stiles. Did you live in Estacada when “Mike’s Second Hand Store” was in business? Read all about Mike and his inspiration. Learn about what it was like to live up the Clackamas River in the late ’60s from Sally Gilmore.

“The Estacada Citizen” is a labor of love that Lily Shaver works on during her spare time. She loves Estacada and has lived in the area most of her life, attending Estacada High School. She now lives in Estacada and enjoys walking around town taking pictures. Keep your eyes peeled for more interviews and more pictures! For lots of pictures from around Estacada, local news, etc., follow “The Estacada Citizen” Facebook page.

It is a huge honor to talk with Estacada residents and hear their stories. That is one of Lily’s favorite things to do!

God bless all Estacada Citizens.
