Planet Fitness at Durham and 99w

I'm thinking of (re)joining the Planet Fitness next to Trader Joe's on Durham/99w. I went in there the other day and they told me if I knew someone who was a member I could get a referral code that would reduce my initial dues and give the member a free month.

So, anyone want to be my friend?

Mobil station at 99 & Walnut - what's the story?

The Mobil station at 99 and Walnut was discussed here two years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tigard/comments/v8z9gn/does_anyone_else_think_the_mobil_station_on_hwy/

It may have been open then, but I can not remember a time in the last two years when I drove by and saw anyone there purchasing gas or selling gas.

The lights are always on. The gas prices are always updated. But IT'S NEVER OPEN!

Anyone know the story? Contrary to the previous discussion, I can't see how it could be a money laundering front. In order to launder money, you need money flowing through the business. I imagine this place only has money flowing out (electric bill, property taxes, property insurance).

Broadcast tv signal

I’m new to Tigard. I live on the south side of Bull Mountain and my tv antenna gets almost no broadcast tv channels. Is there a signal strength problem here, or am I just doing it wrong? When I was in Beaverton, I could get all the standard broadcast channels.

Water bill observations

Tualatin Valley Water District Billing 

TVWD charges their most vulnerable customers $110.00 to shut off their water service. These customers can't afford water and they are charged over a months water bill to shut off their water, effectively doubling their billing and inflating the burden on needy families and restricting water access to children.

TVWD sends disconnection threats at 4PM, with a suggestion to call customer service. TVWD closes all customer service at 4PM.

TVWD requires customers to have the account number to access both phone and web access to their billing information and payment options, forcing shut offs due to restricting access to information and payment options.

TVWD charges all customers $65.00 a month if they cannot prove that the sprinklers, that they do not control, do not drain into the aquifers below their rental properties, regardless of the size of the area of the "yard" around they rental property.

Daycare recommendations for 6MO

Does anyone have recommendations for daycare for a 6MO in the area? Must be licensed. Willing to drive to neighboring cities. It would also be helpful if anyone can let me know which ones to avoid.

Constant loud bangs/explosion sounds in King City

Edit: It’s the River Terrace new home construction going on. Thanks for the info.

Anyone happen to know what this is? I’m in King City off of Beef Bend. It sounds almost like fireworks going off (but they aren’t) can’t figure out what it is. It is ongoing constantly throughout the day. We heard it last weekend too.

Restaurant Recommendations?

Now that Shari's has shut down, are there any restaurants in the area with a similar vibe? Specifically we need somewhere that has booths with high backs for privacy, and ideally serving breakfast in the afternoon as well.

No Running Water!?

Hi there!

I live in an apartment off of hall and I am currently without water (hot or cold) and was wondering if others are in the same boat or if there is something wrong with just my apartment. I only noticed it about 30 mins ago, but definitely had working water around 8:30.

Bets on whether Hall will reopen on schedule?

It's been a year but I always assume infrastructure projects will run over on time and budget.

I am so tired of having to patchwork a route down five other roads to get home from work. XD

Self car wash with strong vacuum: not overpriced

I'm new here and seem to be unable to find a good self service coin operated car wash in or near Tigard. The one I found got bad recent reviews re: being overpriced, not enough suction, overcharged for no reason, being dangerous, etc.

Speed Camera

Just under 2 weeks ago on Sunday (the 6th), I was going about 42mph in a 35mph on SW Pacific Hwy and SW Dartmouth St. I saw the camera flash, but I haven’t gotten anything in the mail. Am I in the clear?

River Terrace - Crazy Truck Tumper

Some nutjob in a red truck with a crap load of trump/Vance flags screaming obscenities was just driving around the river terrace communities.

Never felt so unsafe in my life that witnessing their insanity, racism, and sole form of identity. I hope that 'man' felt good screaming at me and almost running over my animal.

Anyone who can make a Halloween costume?

Hey! I'm a plus sized girl who wants to dress up at Harley Quinn for Halloween, but I'm having no luck in finding the size I'm needing! :(( is there anyone who is in town who can make something for me? I don't have much money but obviously I was going to spend money on a costume in the first place so a reasonable price for getting it done, ya'know... Thank you in advance!
