With destruction comes rebirth. This will be my last post under ULCO, so I will take this opportunity to shamelessly plug something I have moved on to without the usual worries of business repercussions (I mean, what are y'all gonna do, we're closed).

I am running for Deschutes County Commission: https://www.voteheylin.com/

Working on the measure to expand the County Commission showed me just how out of touch some of the current Commissioners are with the rest of Deschutes County. How do you not pick up on something 2 out of every 3 voters wanted? I mean, that's actually pretty wild when you think about it.

You know who listens? Bartenders.

It's time Deschutes had a bartender on the Commission. Someone who doesn't care if you're worth seven figures or flat broke. Someone who doesn't wait for someone to ask them to do something, but just does the thing. Someone who, even though it's not their job, has built friendships in all corners of the County. Well, except Hampton, that's waaaaay out there, but I'm working on that (I hear they have good food at the Hampton Store).

I'll leave you with this: if I can accomplish all this while holding down two full-time jobs and raising a family, imagine what I could do if helping you, Deschutes County, were my only job.

Great to see former staff swing by for the last day. Employees made this place a welcoming spot for all in the community and I'm proud of the space we created for this blip in time.

Dear friends,

It breaks our hearts to share that Unofficial Logging Co. will likely be closing, with our last day set for July 2nd.

When we opened our doors in 2019, we had a simple dream: to create a place where people could gather, laugh, and connect. Just a few months later, that dream collided with the pandemic. We had to shut down almost immediately. What followed was a series of challenges that never seemed to stop.

After COVID came the lumber crisis, with prices tripling overnight. Then we faced staffing shortages that never really let up. Then inflation. Then tariffs. And now, in 2025, economic uncertainty is the new normal. People are tightening their budgets.

We’ve done everything we could to stay afloat, but this year our sales are down 40% from the year before. That isn’t a marketing issue or a temporary slump. It’s a signal that something deeper is happening. Axe throwing is fun, but when compared to food, rent, health care, or insurance, it’s a luxury. And luxuries just don’t survive in economies like this one.

We’re probably the canary in the coal mine. We hope we’re wrong, but we’re afraid we’re not. What’s happening to us may be a sign of what’s ahead for many others in Central Oregon and beyond.

Despite all of this, we are incredibly proud of what we built. Our bar has been more than just a place to throw axes. It’s been a home for concerts, fundraisers, first dates, last hurrahs, and everything in between. We’ve hosted weddings in La Pine, baby showers in Prineville, festivals in Redmond, and community gatherings right here in Bend. We’ve been lucky to meet and connect with hundreds of thousands of you.

We know people often talk about economic impact in numbers, and we’re proud to have contributed more than $5 million dollars into the local economy over the last 6 years. But our real impact is harder to measure. It’s the way people felt when they walked through our doors. It’s the joy, the laughter, the sense of safety, the unforgettable memories.

Thank you, Bend. Thank you, Deschutes County. Thank you, Central Oregon. For the time, the support, the love, and the trust.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

–The crew at Unofficial Logging Co.
