Founded in 1893 by the Sisters of Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, it is [...]

Flags in the city will be at half-mast from now until that date. His family has set up a Memorial Site with photos [...]
Oregon is famous for its rain. From November to early June, that is a big part of living in the Pacific Northwest. So I think of late March and early April in much the same way that the modern office worker thinks of Wednesday. This is the “hump” time: rather like Wednesday [...]
If you have been reading the Propertyblotter for awhile, you know that I am a big supporter of the annual Race for the Cure. I am now a 2-year breast cancer survivor. It’s a club I never wanted to join, but now that I’m in it, I’m doing whatever I can to keep other women [...]
