Briefed 8.28

City Harvest Church will be at the center of a $50 million mixed-use retail, residential, office and restaurant complex planned for Orchards, the Columbian reports.

The Thomas Hacker Architects-designed William W. Philip Hall at the University of Washington-Tacoma broke ground today.

The renovation of two Medford historic schools (Opsis Architecture is doing the project) is taking some heat as opponents wonder a. whether the schools were really all that dangerous in the first place and b. whether the schools are so dangerous they should just be razed and built new. Good luck, Medford School Board.
