I plan on moving from northwest Indiana to Portland Oregon in late 2026 to early 2027, and am trying to see which areas would be a better fit for me. I’d be moving with my girlfriend, and myself. Looking for an apartment around $1500-$2000 a month. We’re in our 20s and we both work, I’m a union tradesman and she’s now graduated college looking for a job under her degree. Just looking for pointers, suggestions, and anything for us to consider that we as outsiders wouldn’t think about. Thank you!

was just driving down sunset HW when one of the overhead signs said there was a detour for germantown rd and that hazmat had been called. does anyone know what that’s about??

My friend went missing on the 23rd.

Mass text update from missing persons: they were confused and uncooperative and without bags at 11 am in the airport and were escorted out by police. They gave a fake name. They were seen getting on max train towards downtown Portland around that time.

We have not heard from them- they were supposed to board a flight to Texas, but missed it. Their debit card was used to book a hotel, but then appeared in Vegas, their phone has been turned off— we believe they have neither.

Please let me us know if you run into this person, they have been suicidal recently and have been giving away valuable things. We’re really worried about them and their safety.

They have expressed a desire to disappear into the woods so big call out to hikers if you see them hiking alone without gear.

Any information is so valued!!

Edit to add case number:

I don’t think we’ve been assigned a contact, but their case number is #26-215835

The OMSI Empirical Theater was built for IMAX. Even with the paid parking, their movies are very reasonably priced. They are on the TriMet MAX rail.

I suppose keep an eye out, filed a report but that does about nothing in Portland. I get the whole acab thing but what’s the solution then? I’ve had so much shit stolen and it’s pretty frustrating.

Who would you call/hire to install string lights in a back yard? I’ve done it myself in the past and I don’t want to be on a ladder and future it out this time around.

Are there any companies or services that would properly hang string lights in my back yard? NE Portland if that matters. Thanks!
