County history museum and collections face uncertain future
In late December last year, people interested in local history received a disturbing email informing us that the county’s history museum was closing. The Washington County Historical Society (WCHS) had been incorporated as a non-profit in 1956.
Japanese beetle update
The Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) is a harmful invasive insect that poses a serious threat to Oregon and other western states. The largest infestation in Oregon was found in 2016 in the Cedar Mill, Bonny Slope, Oak Hills, and Bethany areas of Washington County.
New parks in our future? Not soon, says the district
There are three large undeveloped properties owned by Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) in the Cedar Mill/Bethany area. We asked the district for an update. None of them are slated even for planning in the near future. If you have a chance to talk to any of the candidates for the three open THPRD Board positions, please ask them if our area can be a priority.
CWS: 55 Years of Protecting Public Health
Clean Water Services has spent more than five decades serving the community and local environment. It may be hard to imagine now, but 55 years ago the Tualatin River was at times a mere trickle, slinking its way through garbage and waste throughout Washington County. The river was unrecognizable compared to the beautiful resource it is today.
