Reconnecting with Our Roots: Reviving Agricultural Education in Washington County
Over the last few decades, Washington County has gone through a transformation and shifted from its historically agricultural roots.

This shift poses a significant challenge: How do we ensure that the next generation understands the importance of agriculture in a region where urban development increasingly overshadows our farming roots?

January storm hits hard in Cedar Mill
Forecasts were calling for colder temperatures and the possibility of snow from January 10, 2024. The month had started off with mild temperatures and rain. As the weekend approached, some were skeptical. We’ve been fooled before with the promise of snow. But by Saturday, January 13, temperatures had fallen into the 20s and winds had picked up. Moist air from the coast met freezing arctic air right over Portland. It often seemed to be snowing sideways, and it piled up in drifts against fences and buildings.
