WashCo, OR Be Informed! Get Involved!

A while back I chatted with a cyclist having some issues fixing a flat after we both attended a public meeting. We talked mostly about issues facing cyclists and pedestrians in suburban Portland's Washington County. One of the things the cyclist mentioned was that it was so hard to find out what is going on outside of the big city across the hills and even more difficult to get involved. I gave her some leads but thought to myself that collecting links would also help. This page is a step to that end.

Note: While my hope is to be able to keep these links up-to-date, if we have learned anything since the coming of the Internet Age it is that the only constant is change. Please, if a link no longer works, leave a comment on this page mentioning either the link or the name of sponsoring agency/list/newsletter etc. While the comment won't necessarily be made public, I'll be notified and can investigate and update the information. We're in this together, right?

Last, in an effort to make this list more useful I will organize it by geographic entities and potentially interests as it grows. To start, I'll compile a list of newsletters, social media sites, etc that I use and update it as I come across others. While I hope to provide links useful to Washington County Oregon's varied populations, the focus will be on the public sphere and how citizens can be involved with influencing public policy. At least initially this will necessarily carry my bias - of interests and information to which I'm acquainted. So, for example, since I don't live in Sherwood or visit Tigard very often, it may take some time to find relevant information sources for such locations. (I live in Hillsboro but follow Washington County, Aloha/Reedsville, and to a lesser extent Beaverton, Cornelius, and Forest Grove.)
