Evergreen Aviation Museum, Pittock Mansion are reopening. What about other Oregon attractions?
Updated Feb 26, 2021;
Evergreen Aviation Museum and Pittock Mansion are the latest Oregon attractions to announce they are reopening as Oregon modifies coronavirus risk levels county by county.
Gov. Kate Brown modified coronavirus risk levels for several counties this week, including two of Oregon’s largest. Clackamas and Washington counties will move into the “moderate” risk category as of Friday. Multnomah County’s move earlier this month from “Extreme” to “High Risk” is allowing some attractions and museums to reopen under reduced capacity.

‘Risk’ vs reward: Deschutes County businesses weigh limits of reopening
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) Tim Casinelli, Deschutes Brewery s general manager in downtown Bend, is ready to move forward. We ve been waiting for this moment for a long time, Casinelli said Tuesday.
Starting Friday, Deschutes County officially moves down from an extreme risk level to high risk after the county s COVID-19 case counts drop to their lowest levels in months.
This could be a step in the right direction for several industries that have been pummeled by the pandemic.
Casinelli said he s ready to bring employees and customers back into the fold.
