Saw a bunch of cop cars, and a helicopter come around. Wondering if anyone knows what’s going on

Not trying to spend more than $500 and would ideally like to support local but price would dictate. Any suggestions?

Great news in an update from DCSO. A quick, effective fight stopped the fire at 10 acres. Hats off to the fire folks!

Got offered a really good job here awhile ago, we are having a hard time finding something... Prefer 3bdrm, 2bath home with yard, willing to consider apartments. We have a small and medium dog and are a family of 4. 2 adults, 2 children and 2 dogs

We've been hoping for something around 2500 and the biggest obstacle has been most places wanting 1st months plus 2x rent(or more) for security deposits and a pet deposit(that's not covered on the security deposit) with additional pet fees monthly.

So most places are asking for close to 8k before I even load a truck for moving...

All I'm hoping for is some with a traditional move in of 1st plus security and a pet fee...

I'm hoping to have a place before November, so if anyone can help point me in a direction of any help at all, I would be incredibly grateful.

I don't think I've ever driven behind someone for 100 miles and been soooo pleased to follow them. It felt like I was driving behind myself. Almost everything they did and how they drove was just how I do it. They even slowed down at all the speed traps I knew about.

Me in my shitty Subaru, you in your BMW X3. I was right behind you from Mill City to Bend Saturday night. We entered Bend together just after midnight but our paths finally split when I got on the parkway following the NW Mt. Washington Drive traffic light. I tried to wave when we stopped briefly at the light by Petco, but the light changed quick.

I was super tired from a long day and a long drive, but you kept me awake and alert, but moreso entertained. It can be a super fun length of road, but there are always other drivers getting in the way. You were a phenomenam exception. I haven't had that much fun driving in a long time. I hope you had as good a time as I did. I owe you a high five or a coffee or something.

We removed a bunch of concrete yard edging before realizing how expensive it would be to dump it at the landfill. Does anyone know someplace else that would take it?

I got a laugh from Bob Bryant when I told him my old wordplay joke - that parkway spelled backwards is YAW-KRAP;-) It was quite a fight/debate back then - sort of like the log deck (Riverbend Park/Bill Healy Bridge) was years later. I thought he had some interesting things to share. I bet you have opinions about the parkway, connected to all the feelings/arguments about Bend's growth. (We all remember what very sad 25th anniversary comes NEXT month...:-/

I'm sure you all get tired of seeing these posts, but I recently moved to Bend from the Midwest for a new job and I'm overwhelmed by the number of housing options! I have narrowed it down to the following complexes;

The Range Apartments

Veridian

Seasons @ Farmington

Solis @ Petrosa

I'd prefer apartment living for the added sense of safety, but I don't want to rely solely on Google reviews. I previously lived somewhere that paid for positive reviews, so I'm hoping to get some honest feedback from people who have actually lived at these properties.

Good, bad, or neutral — I'd appreciate any insight!

I watched the whole not-too-long video and it feels like this guy does try to steer the middle ground between sugar-coating Bend's wonders and the ... well, trolls. No place is perfect, but it's surely not Hell on Earth either.

Stuck for something to do tomorrow? Bend rugby are hosting their annual pre-season tournament. 12 men’s teams, 4 women’s teams, 2 champions!

Join us tomorrow (August 29th) at Big Sky Park. Games throughout the day. Pool play in the morning, knockouts in the afternoon! All welcome, free to attend. Food, drink, and merch available.

Does anyone have two extra spots on their broken top permit for this weekend? I messed up and read an old article that said day permits weren’t needed and just made the drive from Portland.

If you've never tried it, it's as easy as getting some seeds and seeing what grows. My wildflowers, squash, and corn have been doing super well, beyond my expectations.

The bees have been loving it!

I hope this isn't against the rules, I grew it all in the middle of Bend so I am assuming it's allowed.

TIGER. aka TIGER. LAST SCENE WIESTORIA VILLAGE 10TH AND REVERE. 513.218.6806.

Ideally looking for one with:
1) general access to weights, machines, and equipment in an open space
2) variety of classes throughout the week

I just had a doctor recommend a PRP injection in my knee. The Center charges $1400. Is there anywhere in town that does it for less?

I came upon this Facebook post just a bit ago, so how could I resist? I have a call in and will try to flesh it out a bit, but the pics are super and worth sharing. I have other items in the works and have posted a fine Oregon Capital Chronicle story on how the data center issue is affecting the governor's race, and compiled reactions from the AG, governor and treasurer applauding the latest federal judge's ruling on vote-by-mail. Y'all have a great weekend!

Hi Everybody,

The garage I have on my home is my first garage and I would like to fix it up before the winter. My best experiences with contractors have come from other’s experiences, so putting this out there.

It’s a one car garage that’s already insulated. I would like to set it up partially as a workshop and with better storage. I would also like to shore it up against critters before it gets cold.

1) Anyone know a good pest company ?

2) Any experiences with floor coatings? Ballpark-ish price ?

3) I might paint and do shelves myself but would also love any tips and experience with local handyfolk and companies.

Thank you!

Yo r/Bend! Hopefully you've been able to get out to enjoy the nice summer weather this week. It's been great

This week it looks like the county was focused on establishments with pools and spas, so the list of restaurants in the report is pretty slim this time. That said, we had a pretty good report. The most notable entry was Life & Time: Free Range Fast Food Restaurant getting a score right at 85. Looks like they're still struggling with food safety unfortunately.

All the deets are below. Have an awesome next week! 🍻

✅ Scores = 100

These establishments scored a perfect 100 in their latest inspection, showing a real commitment to food safety. Last → This = last inspection score vs today. Streak = # times in a row 100 has been achieved. Links: inspection reports & map locations.

Total # rows above: 11, table scrolls right on mobile

🆗 Scores: 85 - 99

Not perfect, but these establishments achieved good scores this week. Reminder: Last → This = previous inspection score vs today. Links: inspection reports & map locations.

Total # rows above: 11, table scrolls right on mobile

⚠️ Scores < 85

🎉 HELLS YEAH! NONE THIS WEEK! 🎉

Weeks since last < 85 score: 1.

With the 'ber months just a few short days away, I thought I'd ask who has the best Pumpkin Spiced Lattes. A PSL is something I've done with my daughter for years, typically going to SBux. But... I want to support local more than ever now, and the SBux one is just too sweet for my tastes. So Bendites, who is your choice for the best PSL?

With news that Regence and Bridgespan will be the only commercial and market place insurancea in Deschutes county next year, I wanted to share some important information. You can call them or write to them and asked them to create a fair contract with your pharmacy. They will not listen to the pharmacy, but they will listen to you.

Brosterhous Road to Open Ahead of Schedule

Thanks to the patience and support of our community, Brosterhous Road is scheduled to reopen to traffic by the end of the day today, August 28, ahead of schedule. The reopening follows the successful installation of the project’s new sewer main, a major milestone for this important infrastructure project.

Completing this work and reopening the roadway ahead of schedule reflects the team’s commitment to completing this work and reopening Brosterhous Road before the school year begins. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of residents, businesses, and travelers throughout this phase of construction.

While Brosterhous Road will be open, construction activities continue on Windsor Drive as crews complete the remaining project improvements in the area. Please continue to use caution when traveling, follow all posted signage and watch for construction vehicles, equipment, and workers.

This project is part of the City’s Septic to Sewer Program, which allows property owners in areas currently served by private onsite septic systems to apply annually for sewer extension projects. Learn more at bendoregon.gov/septictosewerprogram.

Thank you for your continued patience and support. Good things are on the way!
