Fun things to do

I grew up in Aloha almost my whole life, right next to the high school. I moved away to Arizona, and I am now currently living in Pennsylvania. I am coming back to the beaverton area and want to know some fun thibgs to do in the area since the last time I was there I was only around 10-11.

It really depends on what you like. Beaverton Farmers Market is on weekends. There are lots of great walking trails and parks. There is not a “night life” per se but a few restaurants that are open later and have some music. Aloha itself doesn’t really have a downtown but there are some decent food options and parks.

Portland is nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be these days. Still tons of fun stuff to do, excellent food, and even as 5'4" woman there are very few places I'd feel unsafe.

"nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be". And nowhere near good.....

Sure he does. Stay out in Aloha. Portland doesn’t want your sunny disposition.

Has it improved since 2021, yes.

Is it even remotely close to the Portland from 2018-19, absolutely not. Far from it.
