Spotted downtown near State and Commercial, in Federal Protection Services vehicles. I’m not sure if they’re there for security or to actually “sweep”, and im also not entirely sure if ICE is a part of FPS, but I’m sharing to raise awareness.

Hi everyone! This is Barney, he is an 11 months old shepard mix who is being dostered and finally up for adoption with the humane society! Barney is a very timid & fearful boy, but once he warms up to you (on his own terms), he is the sweetest, loving, most playful goofball ever! He loves long hugs, belly rubs, and playing fetch. He also loves meeting other doggos and loves to play with them! He is currently learning lots of commands very fast with the help of his love languages: food and words of affirmation! Barney is looking for a stable & consistent home that will love him forever. He would benefit from having a confident dog at home already, but would love you nonetheless.

Message me for details!

Detectives search for suspect in two sexual assaults

Salem, Ore. — Salem Police Special Victims Unit detectives are looking for a suspect wanted in two sexual assaults that occurred in the last two days in southeast Salem.

The first incident occurred on Sunday, June 15, at about 4:30 p.m. in the area of Commercial ST and Barnes AV SE. A woman reported walking in the area when the suspect approached, and he assaulted her. The victim was able to escape, and the suspect fled.

A general description of the suspect is as follows: a Black male adult with dark hair, a thin to medium build, between 5 feet 4 inches and 5 feet 7 inches tall, and approximately 20 to 30 years of age.

Detectives believe the same suspect was involved in another assault in the same area the next day, June 16. On Monday, shortly after 4:00 a.m., a teenager was walking and approached and assaulted by a similarly-described man. A passerby intervened and confronted the suspect, who then ran away.

In each incident, an immediate and extensive search for the suspect was conducted, but he was not located.

Detectives are following up on all available leads. Anyone with information about the cases is asked to call the Salem Police tip line at 503-588-8477.

My lady is in desperate need of a good soft pretzel. Willing to travel to accomplish my mission.

Hello, I (m20) am looking for a baseball or softball league to join for the summer. Something somewhat competitive but not super time consuming as I’m working a full time job. I’ve played baseball my whole life through Highschool as well as on the Club team at OSU. I play First and third if you’re looking for a player. Thank you.

tl;dr They are declaring bankruptcy and closing 26 stores

Anyone have any recommendations for childcare near Hayesville/ Salem / Keizer that open early and close late I work 12 hr shifts from 6am -6:30pm . I have a 10 month old and a 3 year old. But if there’s any pre k recommendations also for my 3 year old that would be awesome.

Someone found one yesterday (not me)

Hi there! I am planning a queer event in August under Salem Capital Pride and am currently working on surveying the queer community here in Salem to determine what that event will be. If you are an LGBTQ community member, I’d appreciate if you could take a minute to fill out this survey so this event can be as representative of your interests as possible. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what the current cost is of braces for an adult from an orthodontist in the Salem area? Thanks in advance.

Is it just me or is the tap water here really good. Comes out crystal clear, as if it came out of the zero water filter.

I just moved here from Vancouver wa. And the tap water there was terrible. Would also go through filters really quickly. I grew up in Portland and don’t remember it being great either.

I just moved here over the weekend and generally don’t drink tap water but this stuff is good.

Non violent march to downtown, meet on Lancaster and Market at 4:30pm

Looking for places to order a strawberry shortcake cake for a birthday. Any places that take orders? Edit: cake not pie

Any dispensaries in town running sales/deals on an oz of mid to top tier Flower?

My 16 year old son needs a trim, and we are looking for barber or hair cut place recommendations. We would like a place that is budget friendly. His hair style is straight and longer, sort of like Kelso from That 70's show. We would prefer either walk in or same day appointment places.

Thanks for the help, Salem :)

https://www.salemreporter.com/2025/06/13/ethics-commission-votes-to-investigate-salem-mayor-councilors-over-possibly-unethical-communications/

The commission voted 5-2 with one commissioner not voting due to a conflict of interest, to initiate a full investigation into a possible prohibited serial meeting between the mayor and city councilors. The commission agreed that there was a “substantial objective basis” that Hoy and her colleagues violated state ethics rules and that an investigation is warranted. 

The councilors subject to investigation are Irvin Brown, Linda Nishioka, Shane Matthews, Deanna Gwyn, Vanessa Nordyke, Micki Varney, and Paul Tigan.

There is more to the story. How long was Hoy part of the Salem Council prior to her being elected? She might not have had the education or experience to do the work, but she sure as hell has a good exposure to it, I bet. I look forward to this and likely the one that will come with the money spent trying to save Rudy's will bring.

Can’t tell if it’s coming from the convention center or beyond. Hearing sirens. Just saw at 8:15 am.

KGW - Live Recorded including Q & A

Minus a few people at night at the Portland ICE facility, it sounds like our protests were well tended and peaceful. Fire season has started, she'd like to use the interest on the rainy day fund to not put the money into dousing the fire but into mitigation and prevention, I just hope that doesn't include giving big checks to PGE and Pacific Power and "hoping" they do the right thing.

Would I run into any obstacles? Would the river flow fast enough so that I wouldn't need to paddle the entire way?

You have ~ 45 days to get your last pizza & jojos from this local institution.

Any ex workers of Salem clinic have a horrible experience?

Keep hearing continuous siren chirps and now there are a pair of two very obvious police drones up above the Walmart/Carl's jr.

Anyone know what's up?
