Schools closed or delayed across northwest regions like Vernonia due to outages and blocked roads, while KTVZ noted highways between central and western areas faced major blockages from debris. Pacific Power restored some service, but high winds persisted into Wednesday.

Measure 110 saw further tweaks, shifting grant authority to the Oregon Health Authority amid ongoing instability, Statesman Journal reports. Portland grapples with a $67 million budget shortfall from stagnant growth and rising costs like health insurance, OPB states.
