r/KlamathFalls

Hi everyone! My family is exploring a potential move to Klamath Falls, and I’d really appreciate some honest local insight.

We’re an interracial same-sex couple currently living in a pretty deep red area of South Carolina, and we’re hoping to relocate somewhere that feels a bit safer and more welcoming overall. We have a young biracial son (early elementary age), so community, schools, and general day-to-day comfort really matter to us.

One of us would likely be working at Oregon Institute of Technology, so Klamath Falls is on our radar for that reason. We both work in/around higher education.
We’re also avid nature lovers, so access to outdoor spaces, trails, and nearby scenery is a big plus for us.

We’re trying to get a realistic sense of:

How welcoming Klamath Falls is to LGBTQ+ or diverse families

What the general social/political climate feels like day-to-day (not just on paper - everyday comfortability in interactions is important to us)

Experiences raising kids there, especially for families that might stand out a bit

Whether OIT tends to be a more inclusive bubble within the town

Any neighborhoods, schools, or nearby areas that might be a better fit

What the outdoor scene is like for families (parks, hiking, easy weekend adventures, etc.)

We know no place is perfect, but we’re trying to move somewhere that feels like a step toward more safety and community than where we are now.

Would love to hear your experiences, thoughts, or anything you wish you knew before moving there. Thank you so much!

Hi all! I moved back to Klamath fairly recently, I grew up here but left for a handful of years! I am now starting a professional career and would like some insight on events/clubs/organizations and other networking opportunities that are available. I would like to be able to get out and get to know people in the community! Any advice is appreciated :)

Hey folks! If you haven't made plans yet, I put together a quick guide pulling together everything that's happening around the Basin in honor of America's 250th. Let me know if there's anything I missed and I'll get it added!

Hey guys, in all my four years living here part time, I have never come across someone who can sharpen knives, or a store that sharpens knives. I talked to the employee at The Ledge on Saturday (not Mike) and they said the closest was maybe Keno. Anyone know a spot? Need to get some kitchen knives sharpened.

Hi I've been in klamath for about 8 months now and I have a lot of chronic illnesses, I've been dipping into the Healthcare scene here because everything is flaring up pretty bad. Is the Healthcare always so... bad here? I mean I need more testing to figure out whats wrong exactly, not to go too in depth but my doctor back home was in the process of testing for Ehlos Danlos - havent gotten to that point with my current doctor, but hopefully come my next appointment in September they'll actually test for it instead of brushing me off! I also had an ER doctor just assume I was trying to get pain meds??? I was very much not, I didnt even ask for pain meds.

Regardless, please tell me it gets better I really want to feel better soon.

Ive heard that Lake of the Woods has some good swimming holes. I’d live to head out once the weather is warm again. What are your favorite spots? Anywhere else I should check out? Thanks!

hello, i’ve recently gotten back into collecting pokemon cards and was wondering if there was a way i could buy pokémon at retail without having to wait in line until scalpers clear the shelves? i tried waiting at Walmart one time a few months ago and will never do it again.

mega evolution is my favorite theme and with the upcoming Pitch Black set releasing next month, i wanted to try to get at least a booster box without paying $300+

anymore have any recommendations? please and thanks. i’m getting really tired of these scalpers chasing everybody away.

Hey neighbors. Looking for someone that can tear out the old and build us a new. So far the only bid I have is from someone out of town and I’d rather support a KF-ish business. Thanks!

New to town and I’m single, in my 20s and looking to meet other singles

Would anyone want to play D&D Curse of Strahd?

Saturdays every week at the basin game shop?

It will take a year to a year and a half to complete (looking for dedicated players) (4-6 players)

Can definitely host it via 5th edition, willing to host 5.5th edition too (though I'm still new to this version) ( tbh the phantom rogue subclass is cool af in the 5.5 ravenloft suplement)

This will be my third time hosting COS. And this time I will be permitting Guns! Van Helsing type genre.

I've also posted this in the basins games discord server.

Let me know if your interested in the coment section!

See you then! (Hopefully)

Session zero ((establishing house rules, creating characters, and how to player) will also probably play for 2 hours "into the mists") this Saturday 27th. 2pm @ basin games
