Any old time Aloha residents?

Family moved to Aloha in 1970, lived on Joann Ct. Went to Ladd Acres, Witch Hazel & Reedville. Haven't been in the area in 40+ years. Looking at Google Earth, the area appears to changed quite a bit.

Curious what the quality of life is like now. Has it been absorbed by Beaverton?

Free car & motorcycle show + downtown party in Beaverton, Sunday Sept. 13

I'm one of the organizers of Traffic Jam on Broadway, a new community event happening Sunday, September 13th from 10am–2pm on SW Broadway St. in Beaverton.

We started this a couple years ago as a small customer appreciation car show at Fresh Start Detail, but this year several neighboring businesses and the Beaverton Downtown Association got involved, so we're opening it up to everyone.

The event is free to attend and will include:

-An invitational car and motorcycle show

-Food and drink booths from local favorites:
• Teriyakimoto
• Bluto's
• Fly Chai
• Lionheart Coffee Co.

 -Beer Garden featuring Binary Brewing

-Free raffles for our ceramic coating services

-Giveaways for the kiddos

📍 12130 SW Broadway St., Beaverton
🗓 Sunday, Sept. 13, 10am–2pm
🌦 Rain or shine

We're hoping to make this a fun downtown Beaverton gathering for car people, families, and anyone who wants to wander around, grab something to eat or drink, and check out some interesting vehicles.

Flyer has the rest of the details. I hope to see some of you there!

(We also have a few spots left for more show-cars, send me a msg or email info@freshstartdetail.com if you're interested)

Aloha Grange Community Fights to Keep Parking Lot Access

After county notices were sent to the wrong address, grange members and supporters hope to get revisions made to sidewalk renovation plans. They want to keep access to the property's only parking area, which is closest to the accessible entrance of the building for those with mobility needs.

Farmington walking path clean up crew - volunteers

TLDR: want to volunteer/work together to clean up the unofficial walking path on Farmington before the school year starts? (Española abajo en comentarios)

Hi everyone!

If you’ve driven or walked along Farmington Rd (between 185th & Rosa), you’ve probably noticed how overgrown the north side walking path has gotten. With school starting soon, a lot of kids walk this route to Mountain View Middle School and Aloha High School.

I spoke with Washington County, and since this section is managed by ODOT, they told me official updates/paving won't happen for another 5+ years. Rather than waiting, I’d love to gather a group of neighbors to trim back the branches and sweep/blow off the pine needles and overgrown brush to make it safer for everyone.

Proposed Dates:

  • Saturday, August 22nd (Morning)
  • Sunday, August 23rd (Morning)

What We Have & What We Need:

  • What I can bring: A pickup truck for hauling, a leaf blower, and small clippers.
  • What would be helpful: Anyone with a chainsaw, hedge trimmers, branch loppers, or a wood chipper! Also, if anyone knows local rules regarding debris disposal (or has a legal spot/truck to haul to), that advice would be awesome.

Want to join in?

Drop a comment below with:

  1. If you're free and which day/time works best for you (8/22 or 8/23).
  2. What tools/supplies you can bring or ideas you have on how to tackle this efficiently!

Even if you can only spare an hour or two, any help is appreciated. Let’s make this path safer for our local students!

Get rid of wood pallets

I have 3 wood pallets I need to get rid of. Does anyone if people are interested in them? Like if I put them on the curb with a free sign, what are the chances they get picked up by someone?
