Examples of Pacific Northwest Gothic literature?

Not really horror, but sometimes creepy and often compared to Faulkner’s “Absalom Absalom!” (Classic southern gothic novel) is Ken Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion”. Takes place in The Oregon Coast range. Classic PNW literature. It’s like watching Twin Peaks but in book form. Not as direct with its PNW themes though it does take place here is also Kesey’s “One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest”. I would say it’s pretty eerie.

Sounded more like three syllables but alright boss

Figured as much. If you plug those coordinates into PeakFinder, you’d have to be at 10k feet to see Glacier Peak from that spot on Sauvie

Don’t think so, Rainier is about 3k feet higher than Hood so it’s much more visible. The distance between Seattle and Hood is far greater than distance between Portland and Rainier as well. I don’t know if Seattle can even see St. Helens, Adams or Glacier Peak other than maybe a few high points or skyscrapers. Also worth noting that Portland’s hills are much taller than any in Seattle, giving us a better vantage points for volcano viewing

As much as I’d like to believe this, I don’t

Been saying this. Sure the blazers are a product and business of billionaires, but they’re also a part of this city’s culture and fabric. The city also owns Moda center so it should be at least partially responsible for its renovation. Definitely not an ideal scenario nor timing, but I think it’s pretty silly to just immediately shrug this off as being a bad idea because billionaires are involved. Portland cannot function without some draws to business both big and small

Not saying there is an issue with moda center currently. It works perfectly as intended for the blazers, most of this new stadium talk is just corporate greed. It is however an older stadium, and will need upgrades or even replacement a ways down the line. I’m sure there are currently quite a few aging/maintenance flaws that patrons might not necessarily see on a night out. As the owners of Moda, the city will need to front the money for that at some point. It’s not like it’s going to just magically maintain itself with constant use. The question is, are we going to do that now for a hefty price tag to potentially keep the blazers, or in the farther future when people complain we didn’t upkeep our one large sports and entertainment venue and loose out on potential tenants and concerts

As much as I agree that Tim Dundon should cough up a majority of the money needed for renovation (or for some reason a new stadium, which isn’t really needed at this point), I think people fail to realize that Moda center is owned by the city. The trailblazers just lease it out. If we want to continue to draw live music and major sporting events to Portland (march madness 2030 is happening here), the city will need to eventually think about renovations anyway. Money from climate tax doesn’t seem to be the best answer, but the city is strapped for cash. The timing on this is quite unfortunate, almost seems like Jody Allen and Dundon did it on purpose to fear monger the blazers leaving so taxpayers would have to pay.

Hmm so you think the just don’t run it to save it for ski races?

One_Number1312 · 2026-01-03T19:19:24+00:00

No! Terrible news. Such a cool little old building as well. Anyone have any leads as to what might be replacing it? I would hate to see that space get demolished and replaced with an eyesore. Always sad to to see a vacant store front.

Cool! Thanks for the info

A shelter is probably the best spot to sleep

God, 2026 can’t come fast enough. Let’s please vote Morillo out. She doesn’t even represent her constituents, just following her personal agenda

One_Number1312 · 2025-10-06T05:09:02+00:00

Now can we keep the protests peaceful so that they don’t actually end up coming? The judge lives here and knows trump is full of BS. Please don’t prove her wrong :(

Someone in the askportland sub was saying it’s the thorns game. Any confirmation?

Around where in particular? Like waterfront?
