📰 News we're reading

1. Meet the 25-year-old helping run Chuckie Pies in Lake Oswego (lakeoswegoreview.com) — A young Lake Oswego High graduate is now helping lead his family's Chuckie Pies restaurant in downtown Lake Oswego, continuing a long local tradition of food businesses. He describes growing up in the kitchen, stepping up during COVID, and now focusing on creating a welcoming community gathering spot for neighbors and regulars.
   

2. Lake Oswego sewer rates could go up $27 in 2027 to help pay for new wastewater treatment plant (lakeoswegoreview.com) — Lake Oswego residents could see sewer bills jump about $27 in 2027 as the city moves ahead with a new wastewater treatment plant in the Foothills District. City leaders say a sharper one-time increase will ultimately cost ratepayers less than gradual hikes while replacing the aging Tryon Creek facility and reducing odors and environmental impacts.
   

3. Campaign to save Lake Oswego Creamery ends with GoFundMe refunds (lakeoswegoreview.com) — Two employees' effort to buy and save Lake Oswego Creamery has ended, and all GoFundMe donations are being refunded to supporters. The beloved A Avenue ice cream shop, long a neighborhood gathering place, is currently closed with a sign citing renovations, and staff say they cannot share details about the owner's future plans for the business.
   

4. A new report quantifies the president's support in Oregon. (eastoregonian.com) — New polling breaks Oregon into population-based regions and shows Trump's support in the Wilsonville–Lake Oswego area at about 25.9%, well below both national and statewide levels. The report highlights how suburban communities like Lake Oswego differ sharply from rural Oregon, and suggests declining presidential approval could influence other races on local ballots this fall.
