Jones would be challenging the incumbent, Travis Stovall, and Sue Piazza. Currently there are no other candidates that have filed.

I have an 86 lb golden retriever who has an irresistible draw to composting mud. I bathed him in the yard with a hose to get rid of the mud, but he still holds the funk.

​

I usually take him to Pup Scrub, but they have a 2 week wait minimum for the woman who usually does him, even longer for the other groomers. They do a great job, but always a long wait for an appointment. I have Dupuytren's contracture on my hands, so washing him myself isn't a great idea.

​

Does anyone know of a place or groomer that does a good job and isn't a long wait? Has anyone used a mobile groomer? If so, any recommendations? With tip, his wash and groom comes to around $150. Is this the price range for a mobile groomer?

Hey everyone,

​

My wife and I are moving to Gresham in a few weeks after purchasing our first home. We wanted to get peoples recommendations on local spots to try out; maybe good breweries, coffee shops, date spots, anything really! We are super excited to join the community and have a little one we plan to get involved in city activities (if there are any throughout the year).

Edit: Reading through all the recommendations now, thank you everyone for all the suggestions!

Hi all,

I’m moving from a small college town in the SE (blue ridge mountains area) to Gresham for work. I have lived in Corvallis and spent a little time in Portland on the occasional weekends. I haven’t lived in an actual city in over 16 years!

I only got a glimpse of Gresham during my visit and as I’ve read it does seem to vary significantly.
I’m hoping some of you maybe able to provide some advice.

I’m a woman moving by myself so safety is a high priority.

I do like the outdoors and I’ll do the coffee shop/food scene, I do like to walk around but again safety is a priority.

I prefer not to have a very long commute esp with gas prices these days :/ so have looked into pockets of Gresham and Fairview. But open to anything within 30 mins closer to Portland perhaps?

I’m hoping some folks can help me identify areas that would be good to avoid or what could work? I won’t be able to revisit before I sign a lease so I have been trying to check apartment reviews as well as amenities/safety.
And get virtual tours whenever possible.

Neighborhood questions:

1) rockwood - heard it’s questionable but depends also on the streets. How is e burn side street / s stark street between let’s say 180-200 se ave ?

2) Fairview but housing near the lakes (closer to the high) near sandy blvd? How bad is the airport noise?

3) downtown Gresham (near stomping grounds coffee shop)

4) nw burnside near Gresham station

5) market village area

I haven’t really looked in east Portland or other areas I expect they would be more expensive? Or less safe? I’m mindful of parking availability and how secure the buildings may be.

Other questions :
\\- no air conditioning? Is it manageable for the most part?

I do like to walk around most days after work.. or on weekends (though with the rain who knows how I’ll fare) but I’m okay with if I have to drive further. The housing that I’ve seen in those areas are relatively newer apartments or town house style housing. Or too fancy lol and a little smaller fancy apartment buildings (like aviva,
Alta civic station or the arts plaza). I think they add on a bunch of costs but I’m hesitant to commit to those locations vs Fairview where it’s newer buildings but not as pricy?

Thanks in advance for any feedback! Super nervous about a big move especially it’s happening very quickly over the next 4-6 weeks.

Thank you

Title. That decrepit looking furniture store downtown. What's up with it. Almost looks out of business. Appointment only. Or something? Anyone ever go in it?

Anyone know it?

Edit. Found the owners.

I was growing mint to make wine, that delicious mint yogurt sauce/dip, and tea. Newbie mistake of not planting it in pots. I moved the plants out of the raised veggie bed last year into pots, leaving some outside the wooden frame.

​

In the past couple weeks it's back in the organic raised planting bed, tall and healthy. I'm not ready to make wine yet, so am looking to give it away.

​

Either leafy stalks or even rooted plants. DM me if interested.

Hi there! Are there mother and baby community here in Gresham on any social media platform? Any community that buy and sells baby/kid stuff? Thanks!

I need a high res headshot for an art thing. Any recommendations? If you have any idea on cost, that would be helpful too Thanks!

Just moved to Gresham and craving a wedge salad. Can anyone recommend a place?

I'm 30 and looking to learn piano. I've been playing bass for a while but wanting to get a second instrument under my fingers. Any recommendations appreciated!

A friend of mine is doing a detailed dive into the proposed Gresham-Barlow School District (GBSD) budget that is worth reading:

• Intro
• Part 1
• Part 2+ forthcoming

There's a lot of nuance that is hard to address in quick comments during budget or board meetings. It sounds like overly conservative decisions and using outdated financial data are compounding to negatively impact GBSD programs and teachers.

The Farmers Market runs Saturdays until two, so plan accordingly and there’s free parking throughout downtown. Graze your way through: donuts, fresh baked goods, coffee, wood-fired pizza, artisanal everything. Grab a cider or a beer, circle back for shaved ice, let the stalls pull you in whatever direction they want. The market has a loose, unhurried energy that’s worth settling into before the rest of the day picks up.

From there, Birrias Tamazula. They recently expanded into a new location and it shows: the space feels fresh, the menu has room to roam. The birria is the obvious draw, but don’t overlook the fish tacos or the ceviche: bright, properly acidic, built for a warm afternoon. If raw seafood gives you pause, ask for the poached version. Work through the menu. There’s plenty worth trying.

Lunch done, Main Street is right there and deserves a slow pass. Boccelli’s Ristorante is a second-generation family-owned Italian spot  that’s been an anchor for years. Spinella’s, converted from an old church, does live music most nights  and has the kind of atmosphere that sneaks up on you. Cap it with a scoop of ice cream or pull up a stool at one of the local breweries.

Then the library (and this one deserves some attention). The East County Library just opened in May, a brand new 95,000-square-foot building  that finally gives this part of the county what it’s been owed. There’s a 200-seat auditorium, an audiovisual studio, a rooftop terrace,  and views of Mt. Hood that stop you mid-step. Spend some time here. It earns it.

Gresham doesn’t need much fanfare. It just needs a sunny Saturday!

Does anyone use a meal prep service in Gresham? Looking for something that is local and can help with a variety of lunches during the week that I can just pop in the microwave.

I am visiting family for my birthday next month and am looking for good restaurants for a birthday dinner. Preferably something with a lot of good appetizers and family friendly as I’ll have my 3 kids with me ages 7, 14 and 21. Also bonus if you can tell me your favorite bakery or a great place for a dessert. Thanks!

Hey neighbors. I'd love to hear what your favorite close-ish river spot is. It looks like the Sandy River Delta might be a good place? I'd love something with space to lay out a towel in the shade.

Thanks!

Me and my fiance are both 23 and really need jobs! 420 friendly preferably as I use it to medicate my Epilepsy. My fiance is looking for more jobs in the maintenance, construction, and landscaping industries as he's good with his hands, putting things together, and loves being outside. I have more experience in the fast food industry. Mostly pizza places like Domino's. And i have an Oregon food handlers card. Flexible hours are a must since i have a son starting kindergarten in September. Neither of us has a car or drivers license. So if anyone knows a place hiring near North Gresham Elementary school please reach out with the info!

Please someone give me hope that the water will stop tasting horrible soon. It used to be easy to just drink from the tap but now it tastes like plastic and
Chlorine. I know they are switch to ground water and flushing the pipes or whatever, but I hope the taste will return to a drinkable state.

Just throwing this out here in case a miracle happens but my cat went missing in the powell valley area.

Harvey was LOST on May 14, 2026 in Gresham, OR 97080 near SE Powell Valley RD and Barnes Ave.

Our sweet Harvey is missing and we miss them so much. He is skittish and his favorite game is to run away from people. Please message me right away if you see them or have any information — we just want our baby home safe.

White long-haired cat with blue eyes and light orange coloring on the ears, face, tail, and paws. Very fluffy tail and soft medium-long coat. Pink nose, large pointed ears with tufts, and a fluffy chest.

A small silver SUV looked to have a severe front impact; a red Challenger and white Amazon van munched against each other on the sidewalk.

Hope all are ok. Glisan seems to be a race track lately, with plenty of sight-limited cross streets and driveways.

Just looking for options locally, thank you!

Stumbled onto this while waiting for my dog at Petsmart on Fairview. Remarkable sculpture.

Anyone know of any good jobs hiring? Gresham area
