  4. Take a look at the latest photos of the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts over at the Portland Business Journal. The post also features the latest mission statement from the facility's leadership, identifying the center as the "cultural heart" of the Beaverton community and committing to representation and equity through the arts. 'The Reser' is set to open Spring 2022.
  5. There's some resolution this week regarding the shooting death of a Bethany man in September of 2019. Philip Cloud's wife, Tracy Cloud, claimed she fired a gun at her husband in self-defense, but detectives grew suspicious as they followed through with their investigation. On Tuesday, a Washington County jury found Cloud guilty of murder after the trial revealed she had strong financial motives to kill her spouse. Cloud is scheduled to be sentenced on November 16.
