LOL jack, i myself am not near newport, im up the coast in washington, and am looking for meat breeders. I dont want to have to drive a long ways to get rabbits. I have friends that will be comercial fishing out of newport all summer, leaving there boats there and driving back and forth from here.
Im too lazy to go look for you, but on craigs list over the past month , i was able to locate several breeders not to far from newport. To the west between the coast and I5 its major rabbit raising territory.,,,But being more specific answering your question is difficult because Newport and Seaside are 2 hours 50 minutes drive away from one another ,,,what do you mean by local,,,,a 2 hour 50 minute drive all directions from either one of those places would cover half the state of oregon and part of washington.
If you want a more helpful answer, look at a map and be more specific with your question.
OH, and by the way, i took no offence to what some thought was a rude reply by you.
LOL, i guess i am near seaside, closer to seaside than newport is.To me anything across that astoria bridge is a long ways away, i hate being that far up in the air without being in a plane.
