Portland In the News: Lighthouse for Sale; Naming the Alphabet District; New Nature Park & More! | March 31, 2022

This week, ODOT rescued 100s of stuffed animals found along 1-5 near the Burnside Bridge.

Originally just letters, the streets in the Alphabet District were assigned full names after Portland added Albina and East Portland.

And if for those really needing some alone time, the very remote Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is on the market.
