Here are the top stories today in Beaverton: Police arrested three suspects after a stolen vehicle pursuit in Washington County on Monday night. Alexandria Carroll, 30, Diana Antonova, 19, and Cory Chase, 33, allegedly snagged a vehicle from the LA Fitness on Imbrie Drive in Hillsboro, ditching it shortly thereafter in a nearby parking lot.

The popular patch provides educational, emotional and food security resource for students, staff and the surrounding community. Now, it has been improved for better access for those with disabilities, with modifications such as wider paths for wheelchair access and picnic furniture that accommodates more individuals. Read more about the project at the Press Release Desk. Even Nike seems to be feeling the effects of 'The Great Resignation,' according to an article over at Complex. Brendan Dunn reports that the apparel company recently lost four key design employees, including the brain behind the Air Max 95 who also collaborated with the late Virgil Abloh. Although Nike and three of the four former employees declined to comment on the matter, one expressed his creative discontent, referring to the company as "the old guard." Get the latest on recycling your hard-to-recycle items in an update from the Cedar Mill News. Earlier this year, Washington County blocked Ridwell from collecting things like bubble wrap envelopes, plastic drink cups and other things standard recycling services don't accept with curbside collection. A county survey went out recently, seemingly hinting at a similar service vetted through official channels. Dig deep into local roadway history with Bruce Bartlett and the latest edition of the Cedar Mill News. Bartlett offers the story of the Thompson-Saltzman Road intersection, which features an unusual 'jog' that the county is looking at ameliorating in the future. According to a press release from 2003, the non-standard connection was the result of a compromise between the landowning Lehman family and Washington County that allowed the "long time landowners to actively graze their cows and live out their lives in their home without being significantly impacted by the road project."
