Beat the Heat at a cooling center
Many locations
So, speaking of the might-be insufferable triple-digit heat, you might be one of the many people who doesn’t have air conditioning in your home and you’re looking for a little relief. You’re in luck because there are many locations around Oregon and Washington that are opening their doors to becoming cooling centers. There’s no fee associated and some places are pet friendly, but ask that owners bring their own pet food and water. Stay cool this weekend and don’t forget to hydrate!
