We're putting a fresh coat of paint on this old truck, getting ready to launch our mobile tool library this Sunday!

We are so close to our funding goal to cover insurance and fees. Please consider donating, to bring this service to our community.

Today, we are up in Seattle helping our neighbors at prepare for tomorrow's tool sale at the NE Seattle Tool Library from 9am-3pm. All items are pay-what-you-will, and all offers are accepted. This whole box truck of donated tools will be re-homed for another life cycle, saving material resources and production costs of new tools.

We're also bringing home some excellent new tools for our Rockwood Tool Library, opening Sunday, September 29th at 18450 SE Stark St in Gresham.

It's so great to meet more sustainable reuse friends—far and near—and strengthen the tool library network.

We had a great second meeting with the Portland Placemaking Coalition to discuss healing neighborhood food deserts through agriculture, community connection, and all-ages education. Thanks to , , , , and others for a focused, productive conversation. And thanks to for hosting us at your amazing farm!

Gresham’s most dangerous roads are major streets with high speeds and high volumes of traffic. Among them, 181st Avenue is a high-injury corridor with more fatal crashes than other Gresham streets.
Safety improvements are coming.

The City is improving safety along a stretch of 181st between Burnside and Stark streets that is closest to
the E. 181st Ave. MAX Station. This stretch of 181st, near the heart of Rockwood, needs to feel safer and be safer for people on foot, transit users, and customers visiting businesses.
