The Gales Creek Garden Club, established in 1976, is inviting present and former members, members of garden clubs in the western Washington County area, and Gales Creek community members to a celebration to mark their semicentennial.
The year is 1976. Hagg Lake is brand new, and the water is rising. In Forest Grove, Poppio's is still slinging slices, and over in Banks, the newly remodeled Brown Derby is serving breakfast until 2 a.m.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office is accepting registrations for its Spring 2026 Community Academy, an eight-week class series offering behind-the-scenes access to law enforcement operations.
Two Banks students were among four area youth honored by the Rotary Club of Forest Grove at a Jan. 7 ceremony recognizing the November and December Youth Citizens of the Month.
