1. Define the Seaside footprint before counting pages
Bosseo’s public page describes two geographic choices: the whole state or only the counties a firm chooses. Seaside’s recorded county relationship is Clatsop County, so a firm serving Seaside should decide whether its intended coverage is the city, Clatsop County, additional Oregon counties, or the state. Those are different scopes. It should not be used as a forecast.
Recommended approach
Bring a service-area map to the consultation. Mark where the firm accepts matters, where attorneys can appear or file when relevant, and where a page would be misleading. Ask Bosseo to show how the selected footprint changes the service-city page combinations and how expansion would be reviewed later.
