📰 News we're reading

• Portland's suburbs grew the most, as Oregon's population grew modestly in 2025 (opb.org) — Beaverton has officially topped 100,000 residents for the first time, marking a major growth milestone within Washington County’s continued population boom. New estimates from Portland State University show suburbs like Beaverton and Hillsboro driving much of Oregon’s modest overall growth, as the state increasingly relies on newcomers rather than births for population gains.
