Hi, long time reader first time poster.

I grew up in Beaverton but have been living in the east coast for the past 8 years. I visit my parents a couple times a year and we always end up as the same spots. My parents suggest CPR or rock creek tavern but I’m determined to try something new this next visit.

I love a good over priced Cajun tot (don’t we all) but want to expand!! Here are my asks:

Is there a spot that is/ has:

- Near cedar hills / Bethany/ 26 corridor (less than ~15 min from sunset HS would be ideal, dad doesn’t like to go far)
- good beer & good burgers (sweet potato fries on the menu a plus)
- ambiance- a nice patio moment, view, etc. outdoor seating please! I’m so looking forward to actual cooler weather!
-Kid friendly-ish - we don’t need a playground, just a space where we won’t get weird looks and has a kids menu :)
-Easy parking
- “Nicer” casual- like not a dive bar. Not an order at the counter situation (will be able to talk my parents into something like this if the view / food is killer)

Places we’ve already been:
westgate (fine but wasn’t the best place for kids)
Golden valley (fine - my parents LOVE it here)
Steeplejack (last time I was there they only had pizza?)
Breakside / LL/ dt Beaverton (already have a bar hopping night planned anyways)

Is there anything like that that we can go to instead of spending another night at CPR or god forbid the oak hills brew pub?

Thanks so much!

My neighbor is unhappy that some branches and leaves from my tree are touching their roof and gutter. I offered to let them prune the branches but they want me to pay for it. I’m willing to have the branches that are touching their property taken care of. I could probably hire someone with a long ladder to cut the branches but I’m concerned about accidentally scratching/damaging their property. I would prefer to have a professional handle it properly.

I don’t think it’s a large job. Does anyone have a recommendation that does pruning job?

I’m in Beaverton and want to look at a car this weekend in Sherwood…anyone know of a mobile mechanic who can do pre-purchase inspections? Just a quick glance at the basics, I’m not mechanically inclined so anyone would know more than me. Thanks!

Hello i wanted to see what places would be good to buy a used microsodt surface in the Beaverton area. I found a new microsoft surface at best buy for $1,300 but that is not in my budget. Looking for something between $300-$500

Thank you.

So i finally got a speeding ticket. The problem is the pictures they got on me have my old license plates that are registered in a different state, the car was also registered to my dad, i have new oregon plates now and the registration and title is under me now so what do i do? I don’t even have the letter cuz it got sent to the address in my old state in the midwest. Advice?

First let me say that I love animals and have had multiple cats in my life. But why do people move to Beaverton and suddenly decide that their cat is now an outdoor cat? My neighbor had a cat who had kittens so now there are 4 of them, new neighbor moved in across the way and was like “here’s mine too”. Plus the already existing 5 “neighborhood cats” that wander around plus a cat, that belonged to a dead guy, who lives in my bushes.

In my neighborhood alone I will see no fewer than 10 different cats just wandering around, leaving their poop everywhere (my dog LOVES cat poop so half our walks are “no drop it” but FREAKS out when a cat walks past the window). If you have an outdoor cat, no you don’t. You’ve just added another little ecological nightmare into an already crowded system. We used to have squirrels and birds in the yard. Now we have cat fights at 2am and poop everywhere.

Hello all, so I've learned in the past week that my indoor-only cat has obtained fleas (possibly via my stepmother's dog when she visited recently >.> but that's beside the point).

I'm looking to get her shaved and bathed but I assume most places with a solid location (cats in the city is who I used to go to for shaves) will reject her due to the fleas, which makes complete sense but also means I need to look for mobile options.

Does anyone have any recommendations for cat groomers who can work with a cat with a mild temper, long hair (Maine coon genes), and fleas? I'm willing to pay more than usual for this and usually CITC would charge me ~$180 for a full shave and bathe of my girl.

I moved here just shy of a year ago and the only social life I have is chatting with my nurses at clinic visits. I'm chronically ill and hopefully wrapping up cancer treatment soon. Which will leave me with a lot of free time. Does anyone still meet up at coffee shops anymore? Are car shows a thing here? I have a bunch of interests and hobbies, but no one to really talk about them with any more. Feel free to send me a message. I'd love to try and make a local friend.

I looked up and all the sudden dozens of vehicles swarmed her took her.I feel so awful witnessing it and her having to leave everything behind and her car. I hope there is a way for her family to be contacted.

Hi, I'm 40 years old, a stay at home Dad, and looking for other stay at home parents in Beaverton to chat with during the day about anything and everything. I am very easygoing and respectful and would love to hear from anyone interested in chatting a bit to pass the time.

Looking for a seamstress and/or tailor to tailor some formalwear: hemming a dress and tailoring a suit. Wanting to find someone local who has time to finish before Sept 7 - any recommendations?

We lost our kitty this weekend and have a selection of items we would like to give away to someone who needs them:

Royal Canin Renal Support dry food in F and S
Royal Canin Renal Support wet food in T and E
Purina Pro Plan Kidney Function dry food
Purina Pro Plan Kidney Function NF wet food
Purina Pro Plan Hydra Care
Hills Kidney Care k/d dry food
Hills Kidney Care k/d wet food
Mirataz appetite stimulant
Catney One kidney support supplement
Purina Pro Plan Forti Flora (just a few sachets left)
Nordic Naturals omega 3 for cats
Rx Vitamins Phos-Bind

We also have a mixed bag of about 30 different single serve foods (non prescription) from when she stopped eating most food, along with some treats. There is an unused litter box (top entry) and an unused scratching post, and some travel food/water bowls. We also have a small kitty bed that she used once and decided she hated.

If any of those items could help you, please let me know. We can meet you at the Beaverton high school.

Anyone know what’s going on right now? There are a lot of police blocking the intersection and at the max station

Currently SO MANY cops posted the full length of Murray Blvd. Watch out!
