heading out to visit a friend who is a project manager on a job out there. Any Intel to be aware of? I will be carrying under LEOSA.

There’s is a big Intel there I think.

Yes. Once there, only go north, south, or west. Under no circumstance should you ever drive east.

There is a decent mom and pop Japanese restaurant there called Yuzu. Izakaya style. Pretty authentic. Good selection of sake as well. No crap on tap, so to speak. Although haven’t been since 2019 before the wuflu.

McMinimims used to be a thing. But haven't been there in a few years. Should be great weather there this time of year

McMenamins is still kind of a thing. A family-owned series of brewpubs/restaurants. Mid- to upper-tier food, lots of beer options if that's your thing. Better than Red Robin or Applebee's by a fair margin. Weather right now is fine. Later in October you start dancing on the edge of the heavy rain season. The homeless war zone hasn't reached Beaverton much, yet.

The only place to be weary of is the train (MAX) tracks by Murray and Millikan Pkwy. It's right next to Nike world HQ, but there are homeless and hooligans that hang out in the under the overpass there next to Tektronix.

As for restaurants, I highly suggest Oswego Grill in Cedar Hills Crossing. Order the salmon harvest bowl. You'll love it.

There's also Thirsty Lion in Tanasbourne or the one at the Washington Square mall. Order the pork belly ramen. It's to die for, but a little spicy.

There's a few good places to eat at Progress Ridge. La Petit Provence and the wood fire pizza place.

If you're going to eat at McMenamins, eat at the Cornelius Pass Roadhouse on Imbrie drive or the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. Also consider Rock Creek Tavern. It's off the beaten path, but a local favorite. It's in the middle of farmland.

Helvetia Tavern is always worth a drive too.

Stay off TV highway (the 8) if you can. All the homeless are hanging out by the railroad tracks that run along that route.

ABV Pub has a good selection on tap and more in bottles. Mead too. Food is decent.

Helvetia Tavern is good dive burger joint but cash only last time I went.

went to school a long time ago with a guy from Beaverton who works at Sandia

nice town
