Why Your Commute Time Might Triple, St. Helens Treatment Center Dumping Patients in Portland, and Red House Gets Raided
from City Cast Portland · host City Cast
We're talking about the upcoming I-5 closure predicted to potentially triple your commute time and the recent raid on the infamous Red House, which was the site of large-scale protests back in 2020. We’re also looking into a St. Helens treatment center that is bussing patients to our city and then abandoning them without any resources. Joining host Claudia Meza are Willamette Week reporter and author Brianna Wheeler and our very own senior producer Giulia Fiaoni. Become a member of City Cast Portland!
