What an amazing day in the neighborhood today as we hosted the O.C. Fall Fest for 2026. Beautiful weather and great crowds. Featuring live music, vendors and service organizations and your very own McLoughlin Neighborhood Association. We were able to see the unveiling and tour the new Mobile Library Outreach Vehicle. Lots of fun and events including a pumpkin patch for the kids. Great way to start the fall festivities.

Good afternoon neighbors, here some timely information and advice from our friends at Clackamas County Vector Control.
As summer comes to an end, Clackamas County Vector Control District (CCVCD) encourages residents to think about fall yard cleanup. A few simple steps can help reduce mosquito breeding sites around your home.
Eliminate Standing Water
Mosquitoes require water during the first three stages of their life cycle. Eliminate the water, and mosquitoes can’t reproduce in your yard.
The challenging part is that even a bottle cap full of water can provide enough water for mosquitoes to breed. Common yard items such as sandboxes, wagons, and plastic toys can collect water. Be sure to check:
Plant saucers
Pet water bowls
Gutters
Areas beneath downspouts
Toys and outdoor containers
Wheelbarrows, wagons, and other items that can collect rainwater
Keep Firewood Off the Ground
Stack firewood off the ground and allow good airflow between the pieces of wood. This helps reduce areas where mosquitoes can rest and hide.
FREE Tire Recycling Program
CCVCD is partnering with Les Schwab to help reduce mosquito sources and breeding habitat in Clackamas County.
From September 1–30, 2026, Clackamas County residents can bring old tires to the participating Les Schwab locations below for FREE recycling during regular business hours:
Oregon City
Estacada
Happy Valley
Canby
Conditions apply:
Available to Clackamas County residents only. ID is required.
Limited to 5 standard passenger car or light-duty truck tires per person.
No commercial or agricultural vehicle tires.

A fee will be charged for wheel removal.
The program is limited to a maximum of 2,000 tires recycled in Clackamas County, or September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
Help us eliminate mosquito breeding sites and keep Clackamas County healthier and more comfortable this fall!

Good afternoon neighbors, as the McLoughlin I&I sewer repair, replacement program winds down. We thought it would be interesting to know what was going on in ( and under) the neighborhood the past couple months. Here is an update from the contractors.
This project :
- Bored through 890 linear feet of solid
rock
- Rhabilitated, repaired or installed 4,114 Linear feet of pipes for sewer and laterals.
- Installed 19 new manholes.
- Repaired 64 laterals to citizens homes.
- All of this was done with no cost to the individual homeowners. Each step of the way, they worked towards a more resilient and efficient treatment plant.
Excellent Job to all the partners in this project. The McLoughlin Neighborhood Association thanks you for your dedication to this project.
What's next? Looking forward to the next project, The Linn 3 project, primarily based in the Mcloughlin Neighborhood. Work starts this winter.

Photos below show lateral installation, manhole installation and road rehabilitation.

Good morning neighbors,
WOW, what a weekend in the McLoughlin Neighborhood. The streets were full of garage sale shoppers, the air was full of music of all kinds, and the restaurants were full of diners, and everyone was out enjoying the beautiful weather.
We would like to thank all of the participants of the Annual McLoughlin Neighborhood Sale and all those shoppers that came out in force from all over the metro area, we even had a couple from Australia visiting.
We hope those of you had a great and lucrative sale, we would love to hear about your experience and get your comments on what we could do better next year. Drop us a line at [email protected] and give us your thoughts.

See you next year,

Thank you, the McLoughlin Neighborhood Sale team.
