Questions remain as to how the federal government shutdown will be felt locally, but already, some local parks and sites are preparing for what's next.
The visitors center at the reconstructed Fort Vancouver national historic site is normally closed on Sundays and Mondays.
But on Sunday signs were up, warning that because of the shutdown, the parks service won’t able to fully staff everything. No visitor services will be provided during the shutdown, the sign said.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reported that Fort Vancouver staff told them they would indeed be closed during a shutdown.
Another popular Oregon destination that's partially affected: Multnomah Falls.
Trails and some areas remain closed because of the Eagle Creek fire, though the lodge is open.
What's different, though is the information center. A sign on it reads that it's closed due to a lapse in funding.
The interior department has said that most national parks and monuments will remain open.
It's still not clear what other effects will be felt immediately by Oregonians.
Our partners at the Statesman Journal report that roughly 7,400 federal employees in Oregon would be furloughed during a shutdown.
Certainly, many are left wondering what will happen once Monday arrives.
Other agencies, though, like the Oregon Department of Education have said that they don't anticipate a major impact unless the shutdown lasts longer than a month.
Agencies like ODOT and the Oregon Department of Agriculture have said they don’t expect any immediate impacts.
Federal employees deemed essential, like law enforcement, will remain on the job.
