Metro purchased 553 acres along the Clackamas River and Eagle Creek. The land includes the Eagle Creek Golf Course, which has been on the market since 2021. The $6.4 million purchase was possible thanks to voters choosing to invest in nature by passing the 2019 Parks and Nature bond. oregonmetro.gov/news/metro-m…

Heavy snow & ice mean a higher risk of falling branches—especially near power lines. Avoid parking under trees, watch for weakened limbs, & keep flashlights, batteries, and blankets on hand. Stay informed with local forecasts & look out for each other! apps.oregon.gov/oregon-newsr…

UPDATE FEB. 11, 2025: Help us spread the word! Multnomah County will open 5 severe weather shelters tonight (Feb. 11) at 8 p.m. until noon Wednesday as the forecast calls for bitterly cold temperatures and wind. The Chair has extended the state of emergency so @trimet will not turn away anyone unable to pay for a ride to a warming shelter. Bookmark and visit multco.us/cold for the latest information.
