🔥 FIRE BAN - As of August 13, there is a fire ban on Lincoln City beaches — and many other areas around the state. That means no wood fires (i.e., beach bonfires), or other fires that emit flames that can't be turned off with a valve. 📸 @dana_schafer_realtor | Instagram

Ok-👻I think this is it. Lost Tweetdeck this a.m. and that pretty much tanks all usefulness on this platform for me. It was a "slow death" but one we knew was coming. Thank all of you for the good times, and all the info we were able to share quickly with eachother. Take care!

Get a sneak peek at the #MitchellPointTunnel! Opening in 2024 as part of the #HistoricHighway State Trail, this behind-the-scenes moment with Region 1 ACT members and local elected officials in #HoodRiver is just a taste of what's to come. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!

This animation shows that the wildfire smoke will be moving eastward over the Cascades and out of the area today as onshore flow increases. Anyone else happy about that? We certainly are! :) #orwx #wawx

Overdose rates in Portland are surprisingly low compared to other cites. Per capita numbers here are more comparable to Dayton than to San Francisco.

Cottonwood Canyon State Park is closed because of a fire. Campers and visitors are being evacuated. Campers with reservations for the coming days will be notified of the closure and will receive refunds. We don’t know how long the park or campground will be closed.

This fire appears to be burning right at Cottonwood Canyon, just across the river from the state park campground. It's not super clear, but it sounds like fire is staying up on the hills and skirting the southern end of the park.

🟢Cottonwood Canyon State Park has reopened.

🚨⛔️Heads up for folks traveling to/from Central Oregon over the Cascades. Hwy 126 is closed at the jct. with US 20 to jct. w/ Hwy 242 due to fire activity on the Lookout Fire burning on the WillametteNatlForest. ℹ️ Stay up-to-date on road statuses by visiting tripcheck.com.

I walked past a float while hauling out my crabbing gear a few months ago, a woman walking five steps behind me found it. I've thought about it every day since.

The closure area for the #LookoutFire area was reduced on Sept. 7, 2023. Blue Pool, Sahalie Falls, & the McKenzie River Trail & trailheads remain closed. Rec sites along Highway 242 remain inaccessible due to a temporary road closure by OregonDOT. ℹ tinyurl.com/yc4yhs8a
