Hey everyone,
I’m a 28-year-old guy who moved to Hillsboro from Arizona almost a year ago. To be honest, it’s been harder than I expected to build a social circle. I have a few friends from work, but outside of that, I don’t really know many people, and it can get pretty lonely.
I’ve been wanting to make this post for a long time but kept talking myself out of it. I figured I’d finally give it a shot because I’ve heard the Hillsboro community is really kind and welcoming.

I’m hoping to make some genuine friendships, and if life eventually leads to a meaningful relationship with someone, that would be wonderful too. No pressure though—I’m mainly looking to meet good people, hang out, and enjoy life together.

A little about me:
I enjoy exploring Oregon, scenic drives, coffee, trying new food, movies, and EDM/music festivals.
I’m always down for a walk, grabbing food, checking out local events, or just having a good conversation.
I’m open to trying new hobbies too.
If anyone is in a similar situation, wants to hang out, or has recommendations for groups, events, or places where people actually meet and make friends, I’d really appreciate it.
Feel free to comment or send me a message. Hopefully this is the start of meeting some awesome people and leaving the loneliness behind.
Thanks for reading! ❤️

Hey everyone! My family and I are taking a road trip down from Canada with my family from July 31st to August 4th (dates are flexible). My dad has been a massive sneakerhead his whole life and seeing the Nike World HQ campus and checking out the store in Beaverton has been on his bucket list forever. I don't know if you need to have a pass or if someone has to physically let you in, but if an employee happens to have an extra guest pass for the store, or even wouldn't mind giving us a quick walk around on campus, I’d be super grateful! I promise we won't resell!!!

He has no idea I'm looking for a pass in, and it would be a suprise for him on the trip. Pls DM me if you have anything available or if you can help us out😛!!

Appreciate any help or advice you guys have!

And now I can’t find the thread! My bad. I shouldn’t have wandered off. I need to get cracked really good and am looking for both Portland and Beaverton recommendations. This would be Kaiser self-referred. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I’m look for a financial advisor or fiduciary that specializes in estate planning or working with the elderly.

I would love recommendations if anyone has any!

Hi all. I'm taking a driving test next week at the DMV at 10280 SW PARK WAY in Beaverton. Any tips? I've never taken a drive test before. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Came across a Chinese Goose (domesticated breed) along with a couple of ducks that seemed out of place at Commonwealth. Can’t take them home but I’m worried about them.

just curious if anyone else saw a large drone doing laps over butner 2:30ish Tues,7/23

Just curious if people have a favorite place they go to shop for hot sauces. I know Market of Choice has quite a few to choose from.

Looking for a good place to get a pedicure. Any good places open today till 9 pm?

I got a traffic enforcement ticket for taking a right when the light was red from Walker onto Cedar Hills… can you not take a right on red there? Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi yall,

I’m a plus size girly. I’m currently recovering from surgery (unrelated to weight don’t start) and figured now would be a good time to look at some gyms and get recs for when I can start being active again in a few weeks.

Right now my eta is mid august for picking something and getting into a class.

I have some medical stuff that I’ve finally got under control that lead to weight gain and I would like to get it off - that said I have some muscle but not a ton of stamina for most of it. I’m a hair dresser which is a pretty active job as far as muscle control and stamina in arms and core/back (standing) but as far as elevated heart rate style work out I get light headed so I need something that I can work up that stamina so I can do more aggressive things in the future like HIIT or something.

Really I’m looking for a body positive and time flexible (evening classes or choose which class(es) you attend week to week) options, and likely yoga or something that engages the muscles similarly. I’m open to any and all suggestions, but I would do best with a guide of some sort and I’m not looking to build crazy muscle right now.

TLDR: Looking for classes body positive and flexible times!

Did anyone get a good picture of the sky tonight?? It was so beautiful and my phone camera was so bad…

RATS protesting for ethical treatment of animals at Canard this evening.

A big branch of our plum tree suddenly fell down 🥲 It looks like the other branches also start to fall down as well, but we are unsure. Is there any company that can remove this? Should we cut down the whole tree?
