An Oregon Waterfront Restaurant Lets You Watch Sea Lions While Enjoying Fresh Coastal Seafood

A colony of barking California sea lions lounges right below the dining room windows. They don’t care about your reservation. They just keep barking. The tables sit directly above a public dock where these big, noisy marine mammals gather. Nearly every window seat looks down on them. A covered deck brings you even closer during the warmer season.

Hospital Established Undue Hardship In Denying Nurse’s Religious Exemption From Vaccine Mandate

MacDonald v. Oregon Health & Sci. Univ. , 2026 WL 2966688 (9th Cir. 2026) Brittany MacDonald, a registered nurse who provided hands-on care to pregnant mothers, newborns, and immunocompromised patients at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), was terminated after OHSU denied her request for a religious exemption from the State’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for healthcare workers. MacDonald sued individual OHSU officials for violating the Free Exercise Clause and sued OHSU for failure to accommodate under Title VII. In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the Free Exercise claim on qualified immunity grounds, holding that in 2021 there was no clearly established law that denying such an exemption to a healthcare worker in close contact with vulnerable patients during a pandemic was unconstitutional (Judge Tung dissented on this point). The Court also affirmed summary judgment for OHSU on the Title VII claim, holding under Groff v. DeJoy , 600 U.S. 447 (2023), that OHSU established undue hardship based on the health, safety, operational, and financial costs of accommodating an unvaccinated nurse, and that there is no basis for importing a “pretext” analysis into the undue hardship inquiry.

El Niño-fueled Kelvin waves may amplify king tides on Oregon Coast

A convergence of forces could lead to extraordinary king tides on Oregon's coast this winter. Kelvin waves are rolling in along the West Coast, pushing sea levels higher just as the first king tides of the season arrive Nov. 23-27. The most dramatic effects of Kelvin waves so far have been farther south, along the coasts of Central America, Mexico and California. One October Kelvin wave made it as far north as San Francisco, according to North Carolina State University scientist Dillon Amaya . Amaya doubted the waves will pose a substantial risk to Oregon right now, but said the region could still see some effects. Forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predict higher-than-normal sea levels. Kelvin waves can raise sea levels by up to a foot, with the effects lasting for days or even weeks. Pair that with Oregon's king tides, which draw huge crowds of spectators who want to catch a glimpse of the impressive surf crashing on the rocky shore, and you have a recipe for an incredible coastal show. But the same conditions can make beaches, jetties and cliff edges dangerous. What are Kelvin waves? Kelvin waves are slow-moving subsurface waves that affect coastal

Customers push back as PGE seeks 8th straight rate hike

More than a dozen people joined a Nov. 10 Oregon Public Utility Commission meeting to provide testimony on proposed Portland General Electric rate increases . Most attendees spoke against PGE's proposed plan to increase overall rates by 4.8% and residential rates by 3.9%. That would raise costs for the average residential customer by $8.33 per month, according to PGE. The changes would go into effect July 1, 2027, but would first have to be approved by state regulators, likely by June 15. The potential hike makes eight consecutive years of PGE rate increases , according to the Oregon Citizens' Utility Board . PGE has more than 950,000 customers in Oregon. Its coverage area includes Salem, Woodburn, Silverton and much of the Portland metro area. "The working class people in the Portland metro area, we have nothing left to give," said Jennifer Lighthart, who testified and asked that PGE's residential increase request, at minimum, be denied. "It's not right that a company that brings in billions of dollars in revenue every year is begging the normal regular public for money to hit their goals," Lighthart continued.
