🌱Flipped Vehicle Death In Aloha + Rescue Search Closes Hagg Lake

Hello, hello. It's me, Ash DeMello, your host of the Beaverton Daily — here to impart all the most important things happening in our community today. Without further ado...

First, today's weather:

Blazing sunshine and hot. High: 100 Low: 64.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Beaverton who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Beaverton Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top five stories in Beaverton today:

1. In a story that was still developing at the time of publication for the Daily, rescue workers closed a portion of Hagg Lake Monday afternoon after a man went into the water and did not resurface. Boat Ramp A was closed, and boaters were asked to avoid the area. Further details are not yet available. (KOIN.com)
2. A heat wave this week has prompted Beaverton officials to extend library hours, offering folks a chance to cool off. The main library location will stay open until 9 p.m. to serve as a cooling center on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Click here for a complete list of cooling centers in Washington County.

3. It was a weekend of terrible vehicle crashes. The first occurred Saturday morning on Highway 217 near the Allen Boulevard exit. The head-on collision caused life-threatening injuries to two passengers, both of whom were extricated by rescue workers and taken to local hospitals. (KOIN.com)
4. The second incident occurred in the 19300 block of Southwest Blanton in Aloha when a vehicle flipped on private property during a party on Saturday evening. Passenger Sean Michael Hogan, 34, fell from a Jeep Wrangler and died of his injuries at the scene. The as-yet unidentified driver was taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries. (KOIN.com)
5. A new senior housing development is coming to the Tanasbourne area. Anthology of Beaverton is set to provide 206 residential units, including independent living, assisted living and memory care units. Project managers estimate that the $49.7 million-plus project will be complete by spring or early summer 2024. (REBusinessOnline)

• Beaverton City Library: "Did you know the library has an outreach worker from Greater Good Northwest onsite at Main library on Wednesdays - Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 2:45 p.m.?" The outreach worker can assist with Oregon Health Plan enrollment, utility assistance, shelter location and much, much more. Click the link for all the details! (Beaverton City Library via Facebook)
• Tualatin Valley Cocktail Week kicked off Sunday, July 24. I haven't personally had a chance to hit up participating local haunts around the area to sample the 25 beverages specially crafted for the occasion, but I have been stalking them on Instagram, which is... not the same at all. Anywho... tap over to get a preview!

Alrighty, you're all caught up for today! I'm off to slurp ramen. See you all tomorrow morning for another update.
