Today's riddle: What did one wall say to the other? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. These senior living and care providers drive innovation in AI, EHR integration, safety (mcknightshomecare.com) — Mary's Woods, a senior living community in Lake Oswego, recently overhauled its electronic health records by moving to the PointClickCare platform with help from Parasol Alliance, earning a national tech award. Staff now document residents' daily care more quickly and consistently, cutting paper-based workflows and easing administrative burdens so caregivers can focus more on residents.
2. While Rapta's $8M raise is newsworthy, it's who's on the cap table that struck me (siliconflorist.com) — Lake Oswego-based defense tech startup Rapta has raised $8 million, backed largely by Pacific Northwest investors who will also take board seats. The company's manufacturing intelligence platform already serves major U.S. defense contractors, and this new funding will help expand its deployment across defense, aerospace, and other high-precision manufacturing sectors.
3. Oregon Four-Ball Championship: Harrison Moir, Zach Foushee complete dominant title run (amateurgolf.com) — Lake Oswego golfer Zach Foushee teamed with Portland's Harrison Moir to dominate the Oregon Four-Ball Championship, leading qualifying and winning the title match at Salishan Golf Links. Their 10-under 61 in stroke-play qualifying put them two shots clear of the field before they closed out the final 2 & 1.
4. Portland pizzeria from 'dream team' chef, bartender to close after 15 years (oregonlive.com) — Fans of Oven & Shaker might remember its brief expansion into Lake Oswego, whose location later converted into a Pizzeria Otto in 2025. The original Pearl District pizzeria and cocktail bar will close October 30 after nearly 15 years, citing shifting tastes and rising costs, though its Portland airport outpost will remain open.
5. Food Waste Prevention Week 2026: Ways to Succeed in Portland (bridgetownbites.com) — Lake Oswego residents can plug into Food Waste Prevention Week 2026 through the Oregon Climate Education Hub, one of several local partners helping people cut food waste. The piece outlines statewide partners, explains why food waste matters, and offers practical tips on shopping, storage, composting, donations, and even free fridges so your extra food helps neighbors instead of landfills.
