Creative Dining Opportunity The Oregon Zoo’s Asian elephant Samudra plays with a creative new feeder made from a donated fire hose and mounted high upon a large wooden pole. Stuffed full of bamboo, a favorite snack, the feeder is designed to encourage natural foraging behaviors, getting elephants reach up with their trunks and develop the muscles in the top of their head, which are critical to their overall health, zoo officials said.

Dr. Robert Jeffrey, Pastor New Hope Baptist Church, Seattle, Wa Theme: “A Preaching Preacher” 1 Corinthians 1:18 The Lord has blessed us for over 28 years with a Pastor that has not only been a great leader to the True Vine Church family, but to the entire Pacific Northwest. The free Explore Washington Park shuttle provides transportation to iconic Washington Park with stops to the Oregon Zoo, Hoyt Arboretum, the International Rose Test Garden and Portland Japanese Garden. Washington Park Shuttle Returns Spring is upon us and there is no better place to enjoy the outdoors than the iconic Washington Park. This year guests will experience several new visi- tor enhancements and the return of the free Explore Washington Park shuttle. The shuttle loops throughout the 410-acre park, linking the Washington Park TriMet MAX station to the rest of the park, including the Hoyt Arboretum Visitor Center, International Rose Test Garden and Portland Japanese Garden. The shuttle, which is paid for from parking meter revenue, runs every 15 minutes on weekends from April through October from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and runs daily beginning in May through September from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Guests who take TriMet’s MAX Blue or Red lines to the park will enjoy significant upgrades to the Washington Park MAX Station. This includes new wayfinding, lighting and 200-foot long murals across from the platforms. “The Washington Park free shuttle makes visit- ing the Japanese Garden and the rest of Washing- ton Park so easy,” says Portland Japanese Garden’s Deputy Director Cynthia Haruyama. “We encour- age everyone to stay serene: let someone else do the driving and not worry about parking!”
