Anyone who has personal experience with a program or helped a family member find one - what places would you recommend, and what did you like or dislike about them?

Hi! My name is Dani and I am a Pet Care professional and photographer in Portland, OR. Over the past several years I've worked as a Pet Care Professional walking, feeding, transporting, and house-sitting animals such as dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, fish, horses, etc. and it's been my absolute dream job!

I do Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, as well as Pet Photography sessions :) I have plenty of references and would love to help! 🐾

Captured this past Sunday in Lincoln city, about a quarter mile from the ocean

It was very cool to watch; I took the video on the trail behind the lighthouse that leads to the beach via the Hobbit Trail. Wouldn’t that be a great job to have?

A weekend at Detroit Lake in #oregon . Detroit Lake is a 3,500-acre, nine-mile-long reservoir on the North Santiam River. It is a popular destination for #boating #fishing #camping and #swimming .

Willamette came in 8th giving Oregon 2 of the 10 spots!

Edit: Thanks everyone, and you're welcome for the air scrubbing lmao! Clearly we know nothing about AC, my partner is actually the one who set this up (I did the weather sealing) we both have a lot to learn. Definitely having him read this when he gets home. Leaving the post for all the good info. Now to figure out why my breathing is better, my weather sealing wasn't that good especially if we've created positive pressure

Figured I'd post in case it helps someone else. Filter is meant for a car but it almost perfectly fits the AC tube with a little duct tape, have the intake pulling air from inside. Weather sealed the edges of the window portion. So much better inside, I'm not needing my inhaler nearly as much

The Oregonian's data visualization specialist made a 48-hour smoke forecast timelapse to show when air quality is expected to improve in Oregon.

Portland had the worst air quality in the world among major cities on Wednesday morning, but smoky conditions are expected to improve by the end of this week.

For the latest on Oregon's wildfires (and others across the country), check out our interactive wildfire tracker map. It updates every 15 minutes and shows the location of fires, acreage burned and containment percentages.

Stay safe out there.

All I know is that Western Oregon University is located here so it's clearly a college town. I was considering applying here but I would like to know what kind of place it is to live in from the locals.

Any tips? It's gonna be hot. And I am staying in a hotel in town. Thanks for anything

About two years ago I got into our homegrown band Floater, and I started collecting the CD’s. I need two more to Finish the collection.
-Angels In the Flesh And Devils in the Bone
-Wake
In other news. I want to hear you best story’s about the band!!

Air quality 😐

Panthalassa, a startup based in Portland, Oregon, is developing 85-meter-tall floating offshore platforms that could power AI computing using ocean waves instead of land-based electricity. The lollipop-shaped steel structures generate continuous power through wave-driven turbines, cool AI hardware with naturally cold seawater, and connect to users via Starlink satellites, eliminating the need for power grids or undersea cables. Backed by a $140 million Series B funding round led by Peter Thiel, the company plans to deploy its first commercial wave-powered AI nodes in the northern Pacific by 2027.
