Weather Yikes! Already 96° in my hometown — Salem, Oregon. Forecast high 109°! Thankfully, I’m up north, in Seattle. August 2, 2017 aaronjhill Leave a comment I love Oregon. The Willamette Valley is a beautiful place. But it does get hot in August. The 1980s was a hot decade when I was growing up there. ajh Share this:TwitterFacebookEmailPrintRedditLike this:Like Loading...
