Get on up, Beaverton! Let's get you all caught up to start this Thursday, January 13, off on an informed note. First, today's weather: Rain and drizzle in the morning. High: 51 Low: 42. Here are the top stories today in Beaverton: Learn about the area's current hospital capacity at the Beaverton Patch. Providence St. Vincent reports that COVID patients occupy about 7 percent of inpatient beds. The institution is at 85.42 percent of capacity in total; over 87.12 percent of ICU beds are filled. Tuality Community reports over 92 percent of inpatient beds occupied; almost 10 percent of patients at that facility have COVID.

Among the venues profiled in the article is Beaverton's own Nak Won, with a special shoutout to the restaurant's unique soup-naming capabilities (e.g., When Miss Piggy Met Hot Potato). A big shoutout goes to local students who were ranked among the nation's best science and math scholars of 2022. Maggie Bao of Sunset, Madison Carson of the Oregon Episcopal School, Jaiyoun Choi of Westview, Mithra Karamchedu of Jesuit and Pratik Vangal of Sunset are moving to the next level of the Regeneron Science Talent Search competition.(OregonLive)Catch up with the Beaverton High School boys basketball team over at OregonLive. After a successful early run, the team has chalked up back-to-back losses. The team's coach isn't panicking, though, and attributes the struggles to a front-loaded schedule and COVID absences. A local man is challenging Oregon's mask mandates at a federal level. Joelle Jones reports that Ben Edtl filed a federal civil rights complaint against a Best Buy location in Tualatin and two employees who refused him service for not wearing a mask in December.
