My husband has seen several coyotes on Barnes Road when he walks our dogs at night. We keep our cat inside. Yesterday I saw a mid size racoon in my driveway...
Hi there, April. Well, I suppose it isn't good to have the raccoon living in the house. J Thanks for everyone's input. Tina on SW Yamhill (your street rep,...
Yes, this is their territory, and our pet cats are house cats! The Arboretum agrees. The coyotes are part of the balance of nature. It's the reason so many of...

Thank you, Emmet! Yes, please.everyone! We are trying to get a firm handle on our neighborhood and the activity that is happening around it. That is a bit...
Tina, in the past the night out was typically done by some streets [like a block party] - maybe a chance to meet your SHNA street rep. -Dave Dave, Karen & Ian...
Thank you, Dave. I'll throw it out to everyone, see if they'd like to do individual block parties, or one big get-together at the school yard.or something...
