Katherine Paul is an Indigenous musician who performs as Black Belt Eagle Scout. The band’s most recent album, “The Land, Water, The Sky,” draws inspiration from the landscape of the Pacific Northwest and Paul’s return to her home on the Swinomish Reservation in Washington after many years in Portland.

Send us a textThe housing market in 2025 presents a fascinating paradox—while inventory levels climb to a ten-year high in Washington County, the fundamental affordability crisis continues to reshape how Utah families approach homeownership and life planning.Emily Merkley, CEO of the Washington County Board of Realtors, shares eye-opening statistics that reveal a market in transition. With absorption rates hovering around five months of inventory, Washington County has reached what economists consider a balanced market. Yet this equilibrium brings its own challenges. The median home price sits stubbornly at $515,000 while local wages lag $16,000 below the state average, creating what Merkley describes as "extreme conditions" for affordability.Perhaps most revealing is what one tech worker confided during the discussion: "We realized we had a choice to make. We could either continue to grow our family or get into a home." This heartbreaking decision faced by many Utah families illustrates how the housing crisis transcends mere economics and shapes fundamental life choices. With the average mortgage payment in Washington County reaching $2,800 monthly at current interest rates, even well-paid professionals find themselves priced out of homeownership.The conversation delves into the market freeze created by interest rates, with 80% of existing mortgages locked in below 5%. This creates a bottleneck effect where homeowners refuse to give up favorable rates, preventing the natural lifecycle of housing—from starter homes to family homes to retirement properties—from functioning properly. Meanwhile, days on market have climbed to 77 days in Washington County, giving buyers more leverage to negotiate than they've had in years.Looking beyond numbers, Merkley and the host discuss how zoning restrictions and building requirements artificially inflate housing costs, celebrating builders like Jed Nielsen who've proven affordable homes can still be profitably built when regulatory barriers are reduced. The episode provides invaluable insights for both buyers and sellers navigating this transitional market, where patience and realistic pricing have become essential strategies.Guest: EMILY MERKLEY Chief Executive Office for the Washington County Board of REALTORS®Link: https://washingtoncountyrealtors.com/board-leadership/Looking for a Real Estate expert?

When 32-year-old Mikayla Evans fell five stories from a condo window in Johnson City, Tennessee, she woke from a coma with no memory of what happened, but with a shattered body and a chilling certainty: she had been drugged. Her fall led to disturbing allegations, not just against the man who owned the condo, Sean Williams, but against the very police department tasked with investigating him. As federal prosecutor Kat Dahl dug deeper, she uncovered a horrifying pattern of abuse, ignored reports, and possible corruption that may have enabled one of the most prolific sexual predators in recent history.

If you’re accused of a crime, having the right to an attorney - regardless of ability to pay -  is one of your fundamental constitutional due process rights in the U.S. At least in theory. In reality, Oregon - like many states around the country - has long suffered from a shortage of defense attorneys. In 2018 the shortage had become so severe that the nonpartisan nonprofit Sixth Amendment Center, found the state’s system so flawed it could not provide citizens with this fundamental right. Oregon has taken steps to restructure public defense and provide more funding for more public defenders, but the shortage remains. We talk about what state lawmakers are currently considering and more with Carl MacPherson, the executive director of Metropolitan Public Defender, and Kevin Barton, district attorney for Washington County.   

Q: What happens when you bring a gaggle of country queers together for a weeklong audio workshop and retreat in rural coastal Maine? A: Rural Queer Maine Audio MAGIC!   In November 2024 a group of rural and smalltown LGBTQ+ folks from across the state of Maine, spent 5 days together in Passamaquoddy territory / Washington County on the coast of Maine at a rural queer audio retreat. The retreat was organized and hosted by Out in the Open -  a multiracial, majority working class, grassroots, movement and capacity building organization based in Wabanaki territory working throughout the states of Vermont and Maine to connect rural LGBTQ+ people to build community, visibility, knowledge and power.  Participants produced short audio pieces, start to finish, over the five days that we spent living, learning, eating, walking, and laughing together. These pieces were produced with support from Out in the Open staff HB Lozito and Grace Johnston-Fennell, Michele Christle of Torchlight Media, and Rae Garringer of Country Queers.   These pieces contain audio that may be challenging to hear or bring up emotions for listeners. Please take care of yourself!

Last year, the group Disability Rights Oregon brought suit against Washington County, alleging that when 911 is called for people in mental health crises, it’s often law enforcement officers who respond. The lawsuit claims these officers are more likely to exacerbate a crisis than resolve it. Last week, a federal judge ruled that the case can move forward. Dave Boyer, managing attorney for the Mental Health Rights Project at DRO, joins us to lay out their claims.

First-class airfare to Hawaii. Five-star hotel stays. Lots and lots of food. All of it footed — directly or indirectly — by customers of a large Portland-area utility. A recent Oregonian/OregonLive investigation found that executives with Clean Water Services, Washington County's sewer agency, have spent years enjoying fancy business trips to Hawaii and meals on ratepayers' dime. None of the lavish travel spending is accounted for in the agency's annual budgets. And, despite months of probing questions and public records requests, officials have not yet disclosed the total cost of four Hawaiian trips or provided the receipts on hundreds of thousands of dollars in food spending. On the latest Beat Check, Shane Dixon Kavanaugh talks to Jamie Goldberg about her rigorous watchdog reporting led to this month's series on Clean Water Services. Learn more about your ad choices.

(NOTE: This episode is being posted two days early just in case we lose connectivity in the forecasted thunder/hailstorm later today.) Today, as travelers outside the Beaver State's borders know well, Oregon's roads are merely average, or maybe slightly above average, in terms of crowdedness and quality. Certainly other states tend to have more and wider interstate freeways. But you don't have to go too far back into the past to find a time when Oregon's highway system was something rather special. It's a legacy that goes all the way back to the dawn of motoring; when the Good Roads movement got started, it really took off in Oregon, starting in the early 1910s with the nationally famous Columbia Gorge Highway. But the true reason for the lion's share of Oregon's transformation into a midcentury motorist's paradise is much more prosaic: Our state was the first in the nation to levy a gasoline tax to fund its highway system.

The Beaverton Sobriety Opportunity for Beginning Recovery treatment court is open to Beaverton or Washington County residents who have at least one prior Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants conviction and who agree to the program’s strict requirements. About 200 people have graduated from B-SOBR since its launch in 2011.  Participants must agree to wear an ankle monitor and submit to biweekly testing to ensure their sobriety during the first few months. They must also attend regular meetings with their case manager and the presiding judge to monitor their progress for the 20 months or so it typically takes to complete the program. Beaverton police officers also make monthly visits to participants’ homes, which can help reframe negative interactions they may have had previously with law enforcement, and engage family members or others in the home to support the participant’s recovery.  In January, the All Rise Treatment Court Institute selected the B-SOBR program as one of 10 treatment courts to serve as a national model for new treatment courts for the next two years. Joining us for more details are B-SOBR case manager David Finke, police liaison Officer Michel Wilson and Mauricio Molina, a recent graduate of the program. 

Send us a textThe transformation of Washington City from farming fields to a strategically developed urban center is unfolding before our eyes. Economic Development Director Rusty Hughes reveals the careful balancing act required to maintain the city's unique character while addressing the economic realities of growth.When we think about local development, we rarely consider the financial mechanics behind municipal decisions. For every residential property built in Washington City, local government spends $1.30-$1.60 in services for each dollar collected in revenue. This simple fact explains why Washington City, after two decades of being 98% residential permits, is now actively pursuing high-value commercial development along the I-15 corridor.Rusty shares fascinating insights about projects reshaping the landscape: ARA Southwest Logistics, the largest industrial development in Washington County history; WinCo's long-awaited arrival at Exit 11 after eight years of searching for the perfect location; and plans for a walkable downtown core that will give Washington City its own unique gathering place. Each project is strategically positioned to generate revenue, create jobs, and reduce the number of residents who must commute elsewhere for work and shopping.Perhaps most compelling is Hughes' perspective as both an economic developer and a 20-year resident who raised her children in Washington City. Her journey from military service to economic development illustrates the diverse backgrounds bringing expertise to municipal government. She emphasizes how community engagement shapes development decisions, inviting residents to follow projects on the city's interactive map at WashingtonCity.org/ed. Guest: Rusty Hughes, Economic Development Director for Washington City, UtahLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rusty-hughes-8544696b/?trk=public_post_comment_actor-imageWashington City Economic Developments: https://washingtoncity.org/development/economicdevelopmentLooking for a Real Estate expert?

Rick Roden is one of the dairy farmers that make up the board of directors for Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. On his family operation in Washington County, communication is key. Roden's found out that the messages that Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin creates and uses to promote the state's dairy products are effective, and well received. Roden visits with Pam Jahnke about his fundamental motivation to be on the board - and that was to find out how his checkoff dollars were being invested. He says he's very impressed with all the programs and partnerships that DFW has forged, and the worldwide reputation Wisconsin has for its dairy products, especially cheese. Constant promotion and education is the foundation to why Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin works. Roden says the rule he remembers is the 90/90 rule. 90% of the milk produced in Wisconsin goes into cheese, and 90% of that cheese is sold outside of Wisconsin. He says regardless of policy, keeping those conversations going is critical for the success of Wisconsin dairy. Today, the state produces 3.5 billion pounds of cheese. Roden believes the brand building and partnerships that his checkoff dollars have been invested in, keep Wisconsin at the forefront of sales. Did you know last year our dairy checkoff got Wisconsin Cheese promotions in over 8000 stores across the country and sales of Wisconsin cheese are outpacing the entire specialty cheese industry? That's something Roden is proud of, and happy to share with other dairy producers, and non-farm consumers as well. If dairy farmers want to learn more about checkoff efforts, check out www.wisconsindairy.org, or reach out to your local Board of DirectorSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Colton Hagner was nominated as a Beck's Player with Heart for his commitment and passion on and off the field and mat. What he loves most about high school sports is the camaraderie of playing football with his best friends, the individualism of wrestling alone on the mat, and the feeling, fun, and celebration of hitting one over the fence. He loves that sports allow him to compete and grow as a person, and to push himself to levels that he never thought he could reach. High school sports have allowed him to work with some amazing coaches. They have taught him that a positive attitude is a choice he has to make, and that attitude is contagious. He has also learned that handling adversity, respecting the game, and believing in himself are all key elements in sports. Colton competes in football, wrestling, and baseball and has served as his team captain for wrestling. When not playing sports, Colton's favorite extracurricular school activity is being a fan. He enjoys going to as many athletic events and supporting his classmates as they succeed. He was also on the class commission during his junior and senior years where he helped make decisions for his class, including things like planning and decorating for Junior Prom and graduation. Most of Colton's community activities revolve around sports and helping the youth. He enjoys volunteering at football and baseball camps. He has been a youth wrestling coach since he was a freshman. He was fortunate as a youth to look up to great role models, so giving back to his community is very important to him. He has also volunteered to help his father clean up a section of STH 26 as part of the Adopt-a-Highway program. This has allowed him to help the environment and he hopes to continue this action going into college. As a grandson of a veteran and being born into a patriotic family, he is honored to continue to show his support to the country and those who have served in the military. Colton helps his grandfather place wreaths on veterans' graves throughout Washington County when he can. He also helps his father put up and take down American flags in their town on the power poles for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends. Growing up in a rural community, agriculture is all around Colton. Though he did not grow up on a farm, his grandfather did, and he has worked in the summers baling hay and tasseling/pollinating corn for local neighboring farms. Whether it is crops, dairy, or animal production, it is not lost on him that midwestern farmers are the ones that are feeding America. After he graduates high school, Colton's plans include attending the University of Oshkosh to obtain a degree in business and finance and pursue his MBA. He is interested in the business and finance side of agriculture operations, and also in farm and rural properties acquisition/financing. He is excited to play baseball at the college level as a catcher/utility player. Being able to stay close to home will allow him the opportunity to watch his little brother grow up and play sports which was one of the biggest reasons he decided to go to college close to home.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Representative Cook recently spoke at the Washington County commissioners monthly meeting about his newest initiative – “Come Home…GO BIG!” The initiative highlights Southwestern Pennsylvania, which consists of Washington, Fayette, Greene, Westmoreland and Allegheny counties, as the best place in the Commonwealth to live and work. “I stood before the commissioners and asked for a committed partnership from them in pursuing this idea,” said Cook. “I want to publicly thank them for the opportunity to present Come Home…GO BIG! I look forward to potentially working with them in the months to come.” - said Rep Cook In May 2021, Cook started to ask the public “Why Not Here?” As many people had the opportunity to work from anywhere during the pandemic, he questioned why people wouldn't want to live and work in one of the tightest-knit communities in the Commonwealth.

Welcome back to Collab Farm, the podcast where we talk about all the ways small- and mid-scale farmers can work together, even in big $10 million food system rebuilding kinds of ways. Like this conversation that I had with Lexi Close from Appalachia Regional Cooperative Development and the Appalachia Producers Co-op. Now, Lexi is involved with much of the work going on in a cooperative beef processing facility that's currently under construction in Washington County, Eastern Tennessee. We get into how the project got started from the initial idea to the feasibility studies to raising such a large amount of capital. We also get into how the membership works, including some collective marketing opportunities for local producer members for the Eastern Tennessee region, and what these decentralized processing networks look like as much as 100 years ago, what we lost in centralization And how they can serve as a model for building them back.
