This was my first time at any PRG. They have the original one right on Broadway and this is their new (6 mo?) location in Beaverton.

Quite literally the largest building I’ve seen in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe 15 autobelays, again as many topropes, and the rest those segmented ones.

HUGE.

The recent sunshine on our shoulders might make us happy, but public safety officials issued a reminder this week to exercise caution if we want to go for a swim in Oregon's waterways.
Cold waters remain dangerous as temps warm across Oregon, officials say
One of the greatest dangers this time of year is cold water shock. When swimmers suddenly immerse themselves in freezing water, it can cause them to involuntarily inhale and suck in water.
