A new, public art trail has taken flight -- launched from this celebration in front of the St. Johns Library. These 30 hand-painted sculptures were inspired by the book and soon-to-be-released LAIKA movie Wildwood, which has been described as a love letter to Portland. The sculptures of Wildwood: Follow the Crows will be auctioned off, with proceeds going to OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Find a downloadable map at the bottom of this story about another feathered friend: Crow Sculpture Lands at City Hall

The Home Energy Score provides a simple indicator of energy efficiency as well as a roadmap of improvements that can improve comfort, save energy and cut costs. Last month, Portland surpassed 50,000 Home Energy Scores recorded since the program began, meaning more than 30% of Portland's housing stock has received a Home Energy Score. This helps Portlanders make more informed decisions about energy investments for their homes.
We are proud of Portlanders in helping us reach this milestone. From home sellers, real estate professionals, home energy assessors, and our partner organization Earth Advantage, Portland has helped make this achievement happen.

The City of Portland is investigating the cause of the fire and working with the property owner on a plan for demolition. Two separate canine searches conducted inside the warehouse resulted in positive alerts, indicating the potential presence of human remains. The demolition process is expected to play a critical role in the investigation by removing unstable structural hazards surrounding the area of concern. This will allow investigators to safely access and conduct a thorough forensic examination of the locations identified during the K9 searches.
The Portland Police Bureau's Narcotics and Organized Crime (NOC) Unit, with assistance from additional PPB teams, conducted three successful operations, resulting in multiple arrests, the seizure of large quantities of fentanyl and methamphetamine, and the disruption of suspected drug trafficking.
The Fiscal Year 2026-27 Adopted Budget is available online in an interactive digital format for easy reading and navigation, alongside an interactive dashboard, offering transparent, detailed insights into City revenues, expenses, and strategic priorities for the year ahead.

Your Portland moment
Portland Fire & Rescue is honored each and every time we are asked by the Oregon State Fire Marshal to use the training acquired while here in Portland for the benefit of other communities. This crew has the beauty of Central Oregon serving as a reminder of why we put in so much effort to protect these spaces.
Dozens of Fire & Rescue members over the past month have assisted with growing wildfires, from being a part of the management team, to on-the-ground firefighting tasks, to providing emergency medical assistance to any injury in the field using a new REMS team started by the PF&R Technical Rescue Team.
