Looking for a new gym

Hi everyone! I just moved to Salmon Creek from Keizer, OR and I am looking to join a new gym. Right now I’m going to Lake Shore athletic club but I’m not really liking the vibe. I’m looking for a gym with a pool to do laps and a good lifting section. I looked online but that’s how I ended up where I go now.

Anyhow any gyms that people like where you can get a good workout in and it’s not too overcrowded and near salmon creek? Also how do I meet people lol would love to join a group or something, lgbt is fine since it’s me and my partner but doesn’t have to be. Thanks anyone who answers!

happy fourth! everyone say thank you to ems and fire

this is the pulsepoint map this morning. for those of you curious: the data only goes back to 11 pm last night, but I counted 37(!!) fires, 40 medical emergencies, and 7 traffic collisions, 4 of which were “expanded” collisions.

if you are not currently on fire or dead this morning, please say thank you to local firefighters and ems.

Fireworks ban

Hi all, if you're so inclined and of the thought that we should do away with fireworks, please contact your Clark county counselor and express your support of enacting a county ordinance to ban the use and sale of fireworks. For those residing in the Vancouver city limits, who already have a fireworks ban in place, please also express your support for a county wide ordinance.

I don't think it's necessary to go on about the cons of fireworks, and the issues it causes people, pets, and the environment. Any support to get this movement going is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Places to feature / sell my photos? Pop up markets, art cafes, galleries, etc...

I'm an amateur photographer who is looking for more opportunities to feature / sell my work. Wondering if anyone has any good leads on places in the community that might be open to featuring local photography. I know sometimes hip cafes will hang up art for sale and I'm guessing there are probably some cool art spaces around that I don't know about. Any leads are appreciated. I'm politically on the left and part of the queer community so not interested in any places that are MAGA / discriminatory. Thanks!

4:30am and some jack wagon is still lighting off fireworks! I'm done with this crap. We need a county wide ban. There is no need for this noise pollution and littering. You can keep the small ground type fireworks but the aerial mortars have got to go!

Seriously! Stop!

Fire on 4th plain and Kauffman at the Kauffman center. They put it out fairly quick.

Americans spend almost 3 billion on fireworks annually.

We spend almost 3 billion on fireworks annually, a portion of which goes directly to the Chinese. In return, we get pollution, litter, and freaked out pets. Imagine if we put that money to some good use.

FIRE SAFETY THIS FOURTH

A little short notice but friendly reminder to everyone this fourth to please police your yards, wet down your lawns and do your due diligence to prevent fires.

I just had to sprint around to my neighbors yard because he's out right now, and out out a fire THEIR neighbors caused when they set off their boomers and walked away for 5 minutes.

If I hadn't been by the door and heard the crackling things would have gone bad fast.

It's hot out there today everyone. Let's party safely ❤️

Free eggs from my spoiled hens

I have 18 eggs I set aside for deviled eggs, but there's already going to be a ton of food, and I don't want them to go to waste.

They are free.
