First, today's weather: Partly cloudy throughout the day. High: 85 Low: 61. Here are the top stories today in Beaverton: More In-N-Out Burgers are planned for the area. The burger spot bought property next to Bridgeport Village in Tualatin for $3.3 million. Village Inn previously occupied the location but closed in May 2020. If it comes to pass, the Tualatin In-N-Out Burger would be the company's fourth restaurant in Oregon.

In total, Washington County Community Libraries received over $75,000 from ARPA. A significant portion will go to boosting Spanish-language resources, including purchase of a VIP Learning Tool for Spanish-speaking patrons and an increase in bilingual Spanish/English programming. (Pamplin Media Group)Students, staff and community members dedicated two new schools in Beaverton and Hillsboro Thursday. Tumwater Middle School, located in Cedar Mills, is named after the Kalapuya word for 'waterfall' in reference to the nearby Cedar Mill Creek Waterfall. Hillsboro's Atfalati Ridge Elementary in North Plains is named after the northernmost tribe of the Kalapuya people. Both schools are set to welcome kids next week. (KATU)Beaverton burritos have been exonerated, according to expert testimony and a decision from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Earlier this summer, a Bowerman Track Club runner claimed a tainted burrito from a food cart near the Nike campus caused her to fail a drug test, which led to her four-year ban from the sport. The runner appealed the decision, but CAS concluded that her story — which involved an order mix-up, an unlikely restaurant supply chain error and an uncastrated boar — was just too far-fetched. (The Guardian)The Lakeridge boys soccer team started the season out strong with a win against Mountainside High School in its second non-league game on Thursday. Mountainside managed one goal in the final minute of the second half, bringing the score to 3-1. The Beaverton team now sits a 1-1 for its non-league games.
