Good morning, Lake Oswego.

Dixie Powers, a Lake Oswego entrepreneur who turned her work as a flight attendant into the baggallini brand—once valued at nearly $40 million—is almost finished with her memoir that will share her journey, though she has not announced a release date yet.
Portland business owners said federal tariffs forced them to raise prices, which led to lower sales — local business owners in Lake Oswego are watching to see how these changes affect their profits.

Kotek has released a transportation package framework for a special session that calls for a 6-cent gas tax hike and a $42 vehicle registration fee increase — a plan that echoes his media call from two weeks ago.
🏈 Sports
On Wednesday, the Timbers played to a 1-1 draw with Club América in their final Leagues Cup group match with goals from Ariel Lassiter and Ramón Juárez while forward Santiago Moreno missed the game without explanation.
