Want a bullet train from Seattle to Portland? Here's your chance to weigh in

A bullet train whisking passengers from Seattle to Portland or Vancouver, B.C., in about an hour may be a distant dream, but Washington transportation officials want your help shaping it.

The Cascadia region is projected to add 3.4 million residents by 2050, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation, putting more pressure on its transportation network.

It also seeks feedback on the separate I-5 Master Plan , which examines future highway improvements. What they're saying: "We want to know who's going to use it and how," WSDOT spokesperson Steve Peer told Axios.

Tualatin wins big, but plays small in playoff opener versus Grant

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Not all wins are equal, and some are darn right ugly. I wouldn’t go as far as saying Tualatin’s performance was the latter, but it wasn’t up to their standard and head coach Dom Ferraro said as much immediately after their state playoff game with Grant.

A 20-year-old Portland native has spent the past two months kayaking nearly the entire length of the Columbia River, paddling from the mountains of British Columbia toward the Pacific Ocean in a solo expedition that began with two people and a lot less certainty. Jack Syverson, a Dartmouth College sophomore, calls the journey Headwaters to Horizon, and he is nearing the end of what started as a 1,200-mile trip down one of the West's most heavily dammed waterways.

Shrunken heads, Bigfoot displays, and a gift shop selling 3D bat air fresheners all share one small building. Admission runs about ten bucks. That alone makes me grin. The place leans hard into retro creature-feature horror and sci-fi kitsch. Some exhibits are interactive, and there are costumes and props for goofy photos.
