Where is goonies house

Although a good chunk of the movie was shot in and around Astoria, many of the movie scenes were actually filmed along the coast of the northern state, which is a fair distance from the small town of Astoria. The Goonies house is instantly recognizable to avid fans, with its whitewash panels and panoramic veranda. But how much did The Goonies house sell for? But then in , it was The Goonies 20th anniversary and Sandi instantly became inundated with avid fans wanting to get a closer look at their favorite movie home.

Following the event, Sandi told media that she could expect as many as 1, people per day coming to get a closer look at her home. But she was unaware of the impact living in the house would have on her day to day life. She says although some of the fans get in the way and are often intrusive, most of them are not a nuisance. She had brought his ashes to Oregon. I asked if she wanted to scatter some in the garden, which was in full bloom, so she and her family did that. It was so sweet.

I read online that another person did that, in the middle of the night, without asking permission. Oh well, part of owning this house, I guess.

However, after the 30th anniversary took place in , Sandi could not take it any longer. The event attracted 15, people to Astoria. Fans were disrespectful, leaving beer bottles and cigarette buds in the driveway, and she was tired of having no privacy in her own home. She resulted in covering her home in giant pieces of blue tarp in an attempt to gain back more of a personal and private life.

Every year there's a Goonies festival in Astoria and this house is a major attraction for fans. Definitely take a video of yourself doing the truffle shuffle! So cool. I wanted to go up on the balcony SO BAD but restrained myself as I'm sure the family who lives there now wouldn't have liked it very much.
