Good morning, Lake Oswego.

Lake Oswego prepares for a busy week as its Farmers’ Market runs from Sept.

20 to Oct. 25 at Millennium Plaza Park and the city hosts an Emergency Preparedness Fair at City Hall on Sept. 18. Nearby, Wilsonville’s Farmers’ Market runs through Sept. 18 and its Emergency Fair takes place on Sept. 20, while a downtown Wine Walk on Oct. 4, Cultural Xchange on Sept. 28, and a community concert in Woodburn on Sept. 20 — events that offer many ways for residents to connect — broaden local engagement.

Lake Oswego families are organizing teams for the annual Buddy Walk fundraiser—arranged by Down Syndrome Network Oregon—that will take place this weekend.

Conservationists are using beavers to restore native wetlands in the Portland metro area and Willamette Valley—an effort that aims to improve natural water management and local habitats.

Candidates filed for the 2026 Oregon elections starting yesterday, with voters set to choose a U.S. senator, six members of Congress, a governor, labor commissioner and many local officials next November.

Incumbents like Sen. Merkley are running again while new faces plan to fill competitive seats — this could change Oregon’s political scene.
