PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Beaverton residents are on alert after a cougar was recorded walking through the backyard of a Cedar Hills neighborhood home at 1:45 a.m. on March 18.
The sighting occurred 0.2 miles from Cedar Hills Crossing, a popular shopping center in the area. On Thursday, a second sighting was reported a mile away from the first sighting, Deputy David Huey of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office told KOIN.
“Today, WCSO received a notice of a sighting near the 13,000 block of SW Foothill Drive,” Huey said. “They are fairly close to each other on the map.”

Drain, Oregon. Can’t miss it on I-5.
In other news, there was a flurry of beaver sightings in Cougar, WA.
In the San Fernando valley in California, mountain lions (Cougars) have been seen on a regular basis about 3 miles from me walking along Valley Circle Blvd or in the hills next to it. I have seen bobcat and deer and coyotes and have read of black bears at the shopping center I go to (they walked into a grocery store twice in recent years). There are miles and miles of empty land.
Nice kitty.
We used to find deer that had been taken down & (mountain lion caused) tree damage near the VMware HQ in Palo Alto.
Open hunting season would solve the problem.
IIRC Oregon stopped the season.
Human cougar? Forget it. Its Oregon.
Didn’t Bend, OR, have the first ‘official’ UFO landing site in the country?
Here pussy
Cat.😏
Desperate times, I suppose.
The Senile wants me to join up. No thanks. Quit them in 1997.
Didn’t find the story any where else in a search...
In a highly populated area, a laser pointer would be safer.
I knew this would be an entertaining thread.
I never joined. Worse, Archive.org didn't log that page.
I wish I had my own cougar. Some guys have all of the luck.
I used to work right there on Hillview Ave. Never saw any cougar sign, though.
I remember the time a young cat was in a tree at a Palo Alto elementary school. It was eyeing all the tasty snacks on the school playground. They couldn’t get the cat down so they shot and killed it. The papers were full of howls from the locals “Why did you have to kill the kitty? He was just sitting there not harming anybody.”
Now, that is a car worth driving. It would need to be driven fast to get the full appreciation. There is no other way!
The best company I ever worked for was located in Beaverton, Sequent Computer Systems and I made millions selling their systems.
I am so sad to see what has happened to that city.
Sequent was bought by IBM at the turn of the century, and I worked for IBM for about a year but after 40+ years of selling for small, startup companies, I had to leave {to preserve my sanity}.
There were many beautiful cougars in Beaverton back then, but I was in my late 50's so that cougars were in my wheel house.
Today, for me, a cougar is a young'un, or a tire on a car that a dawg is chasen.
Interesting. Thanks.
