• How did DAnu Wines, Dutch Bros score in recent west Washington County health inspections? (youroregonnews.com) — Several Hillsboro restaurants, including DAnu Wines, Dutch Bros, Jamba Juice, and others, earned perfect 100 scores in late-July health inspections, while Bagichaa, Brix Tavern, and Dickey's Barbecue Pit scored below 85 due to specific violations. These semiannual, unannounced checks cover food temperatures, cleanliness, pest control, and bathroom supplies, helping you gauge where you might feel most comfortable dining locally. 
• Oregon Aviation group calls private jet proposal at Hillsboro Airport 'a horrendous project' (koin.com) — Hillsboro officials are weighing whether a $38 million private jet hub at Hillsboro Airport should move forward after an appeal put the project back before city council. A local aviation group argues the SkyHarbour plan could worsen noise, pollution, and property values, while the Port of Portland says it fits the airport's 20‑year master plan. A final decision could significantly shape the airport's future role in town.
• Salaway suit claims he faced resistance for addressing OHSU care concerns (thelundreport.org) — A former OHSU Health executive's lawsuit alleges serious patient-care and discrimination issues across the system, including claims that Hillsboro Medical Center is a difficult place for surgeons to work and is losing over $1 million monthly. The suit also highlights emergency-department crowding, patient boarding, and concerns about treatment of staff, which could have implications for care quality in Hillsboro and Portland.
