Marie Mills Center History

We started in 1969 in a facility at the Port of Tillamook Bay by parents and others who wanted to create meaningful opportunities for intellectually and developmentally disabled adults in Tillamook County.

Through this “grass roots” effort, we were among the first of our kind in Oregon. We began by providing only vocational services. By 1978, we began to also provide residential services to individuals with intellectual developmental disabilities.
