Good morning, Hillsboro.

Subaru introduced the 2025 Forester Hybrid that delivers improved mileage, higher horsepower, and a quieter ride at only slightly higher prices than the gas version—features aimed at local families and outdoor enthusiasts.

The new model's trim levels start at $38,015 and offer standard all-wheel drive with modern tech upgrades, as detailed in the June 2 report.

Hillsboro’s Walters Cultural Arts Center will close for maintenance June 16—June 20 and reopen June 23 with revised hours that include closing on Sundays and Mondays and extended times on weekdays and Saturdays; city staff said the center, housed in a red-stone building that has served as an arts hub since the early 2000s, will use the new schedule to offer more family programs and weekend classes. This update is part of ongoing changes to meet community demand for flexible art and cultural activities.

An editorial published on June 2 by over 50 Oregon newspapers and the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association urged legislators to support SB686—legislation that would make tech platforms pay local news outlets for using their reporting.

The piece said the bill would direct 90% of the funds to publishers while offering a way to protect local journalism and democracy.
