- A spot has finally been picked for Beaverton's year-round homeless shelter. The site at Southwest Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway near Highway 217 contains a 12,000 square foot commercial building, which the City will convert to a space for beds, meals, showers and a clinic. The facility won't have many requirements for admission, but guests will have to pre-register. (Pamplin Media Group, subscription required)
