BSD is also seeking bus drivers, custodians, paraeducators, school office assistants, nutrition services and classified school support substitutes. (KPTV)

Other Portland Metro companies that are feeling the pinch include olive oil purveyor Wellspent Market and Westward Whiskey. Check out the details at OPB News.
- Open Air Beaverton began as a response to the pandemic, but it's looking like it's going to be a permanent part of the local landscape, according to an update from the City of Beaverton. The agency writes that a late summer survey showed that the program was well-received by the majority of respondents. The City Council voted on October 5 to extend the program through September 30, 2022.
- The Washington County Sheriff's Office is looking for help identifying two thieves who broke into a car outside a liquor store on Barnes Road on October 15.
