Mt. Hood License Plate
Tuesday, March 17, 2015
Here's an important message from local George Wilson, one of the spearheads of Mt. Hood bike and pedestrian coalition. Visit the website now.
Great news!
HB 3027 establishing a specialty license plate featuring Mt. Hood has been scheduled for a public hearing! The details are included below and it’s important that we have large turnout of community support to speak on behalf of the bill.
Where: Oregon State Capitol, 900 Court St. NE, Salem, OR 97301
When: Monday, March 23rd at 3:00pm.
House Transportation and Economic Development Committee
Can't attend? Please send a written letter of support to [email protected]. We would love to have a log of supporters to show the committee members!
Background:
While Oregon has a few specialty license plates, none highlight the important state landmark of Mt. Hood. HB 3027 came from some constituents living in the Villages are on Mt. Hood. They stated that having a plate featuring this Oregon landmark would “…be fun, job building, and pride of place promotion for Oregon.” I was encouraged by this idea and wholeheartedly agree that it would give Oregonians enormous pride to showcase an area of our state that has helped drive the multi-billion dollar tourism industry in Oregon.
Continuing to develop the bicycle and pedestrian tourism opportunities throughout the Mt. Hood region has the potential to grow local economies and encourage job creation to support the growing industry.

Septic Smart DEQ Program for Oregon Septics and Cesspools
Sunday, February 15, 2015
The DEQ department for the state of Oregon has developed a new program for homes with septic and cesspools called Septic Smart. It’s Septic Smart program is designed to educate buyers and sellers about proper septic care and maintenance.
Along with the DEQ’s new program, Septic Smart, the Oregon Real Estate division now requires a septic addendum within your real estate contract addressing septic and cesspool inspection requirements, if needed. This restricts who can do the septic inspections for a real estate transaction to designated Oregon state certified DEQ inspectors. An up to date list of inspectors can be obtained online at the Septic Smart website.
The Mt. Hood area probably has around 80% of its homes on a septic or cesspool.
Cabins located in the Mt. Hood National Forest require an upgrade at the time of sale for existing cabins served by cesspools. The septic upgrade process and time frame will be determined by the forest service on leased land cabins with severe restrictions on when and where any work may start or be completed.
These new DEQ requirements put septics and cesspools as a number one priority in a real estate transaction. There is a program at Clackamas County that provides low income grants and loans for septic repairs and other home repairs listed on their site.
Expect potential delays in a transaction if septic problems arise from these new requirements.
sSandy Oregon gets Gigabit Internet Capabilities
Tuesday, January 6, 2015
If you live in Sandy, you'll be thrilled to know that SandyNet, your local internet provider, is one of a few small communities that has now been able to provide 200 times the internet speed local providers can provide at a very comparable price! How is this possible? The entire process started because the city could not get a DSL line to City Hall. From there, city of Sandy created it's own internet and just recently with fiber optic capability, has offered up to gigabit speeds to 10,000 customers in the city of Sandy!
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS HEADS TO MT. HOOD
Sunday, December 21, 2014
The rains are coming! They are here today in a big way with projections over the next two days to hit the 10-12 inches plus range. NOAA predicts the Sandy is the most likely river in our area to have flooding but area creeks and tributaries will be expanding too so take note.
With the freezing level rising to 7000 feet over the weekend we’re really lucky there isn’t a ton of snow on the ground to melt and fill up the rivers even more. Sadly, there isn’t enough warm temps to feed our ski areas with new flakes to get all the ski areas open for the holiday break but some snow should be arriving late this coming week.
And, how's the market? This has been a busy December and lots of buyers are out in the area taking advantage of great interest rates and still plentiful inventory in the mountain area. We will end the year with the most sales we've seen since the crash of the great recession. Year end numbers will be coming out soon. Stay tuned
