Motel Rooms with an Outside Door in West Beaverton
2025-08-29 14:00 - 2025-08-31 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Best Western West Beaverton, 9900 SW Canyon Rd,, Portland, oregon
The best option for safer hotel staying that we found it in West Beaverton, Oregon. The Best Western there is a classic motel, with some choice updates and a forest-y feeling landscape. The hotel has 10 King rooms that open the outside and have independent HVAC inside, 3 doubles with outside doors, and 1 ADA double room with an outside door. To ensure we get them all, we’ve put a hold on them already and locked in a rate. In order to transfer the reservation to you, we need to get your information and we’ll pass it on directly to the hotel manager, who will reach out to secure your credit card. We’ve secured these rooms for Friday and Saturday night, but you can just elect for one night.
Single Kings $157.52+ tax for 2 nights $349.92 total
Double Queen $166.33+tax for 2 nights $369.46 total
An alternative is the “rooms with a view” at this motel, which have an interior hallway to access the room, but feature double sliding glass doors to the patio, as you can see in the photos. You can reserve these independently through the motel, but I recommend asking for the manager Nicole directly, or else you’ll be told “there are no guaranteed rooms, we can just make a request”. Nicole is aware of our group and can place a block on the specific room.
Between 3:15-5pm Saturday, we’ll have a host at the motel to help you check in. If you prefer, they can go into the lobby for you to pass off your credit card and get your keys, or whatever else is required to check in, so you can remain outside. They will also have a fogger with HOCL in it for your to borrow to quickly fog your room, if you’d like.
In this video, you can see some of the rooms that open to the outside.

Saturday Morning Nature Walk in Tualatin
2025-08-30 11:00 - 12:30 | Tualatin Hills Nature Park, 15655 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton, OR, 97006
Kick off the weekend with a low-intensity nature walk. Your host will meet you at the trailhead for a 90 minutes long walk at Tualatin Hills Nature Park. This is a mostly flat walk on mostly paved paths, with only 50ft in slow elevation the whole time. This all ages group is appropriate for any level of fitness, with no walker left behind- an amble, not a hike. All walkers will remain masked the whole walk, and should be aware that there will be other walkers present on the trail. Your host, Denee, will do a quick overview of trail etiquette before the walk, and then take you up and back on two different trails:

Vine Maple Trail is mostly shady but also passes an open meadow and has a bridge over a small
stream which wheelchairs can traverse. It is 1.7 mile with only 49 foot elevation gain overall.
Oak Trail is also mostly shaded, good for bird-watching, and wheelchair-friendly. It is 2.1 miles with
also only a 49 foot elevation gain overall.

Since there are two trails and they’re not a loop (up and back), you can choose to stop walking after completing one trail.
Because this is an area dedicated to respecting nature and wildlife, no pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed, even on leashes. This will make the walk safer and also allow us to see/hear more wildlife. After the walk, we’ll gather in the seated area by the nature center to talk about the walk and have some water. Feel free to join us for that portion of the afternoon.
Safety
All attendees will need to mask with a KN94 or N95, without valves or SIP valves, the entire walk, in order to participate with the group. This includes the time along the walk itself, and the meet and greet after (we’ll distance and step away to drink water). There will be other people on the trail who are unmasked, as it is a public space. Saturday morning is a low traffic time.
Accessibility
We’ve chosen 2 trails that are paved and accessible using a rollator, walker or wheelchair. Video below will show you the condition of the path. There is also video showing you the handicapped parking spaces, how you access the curb, and the walkway to the trailhead. There are indoor and outdoor restrooms, all of which are ADA compliant.
While a leisurely walk, this is still physical activity and may be too much exertion for some. The path is shaded by trees, and it’s expect to hit a high of 80 on this day, so consider your personal limits. No one will be left behind on the trail, and you can bow out at any time and return to the nature center, or pause between trails, or simply hang at the nature center the whole time, enjoying the outdoors, and waiting for everyone to return. There is another activity during this time (bowling/arcade/laser tag) that involves less exertion.

From the parking lot to the nature center.

Saturday Afternoon at SuperPlay
2025-08-30 12:00 - 15:00 | SuperPlay, 9300 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy,, Beaverton, OR 97005, OR, 97005, United States
We’ve reserved SuperPlay in Beaverton, Oregon for our group from 12-3pm, meaning we have the space during prime time. We have the entire 400 person capacity space to ourselves (no more than half capacity will be ticketed). All ticketholders have three hours of unlimited bowling, with shoe rental. You can upgrade your ticket to include unlimited arcade games and/or unlimited laser tag. While we can’t lower the volume of games in the arcade, we will lower the volume of any other sound from video or audio.
This venue is quite large, with 24 lanes for bowling. Each lane has push button bumpers for kids, and is all digitized. The arcade is a wrap around, with lots of immersive games (I didn’t see many arcade games, and no pinball). The laser tag is huge, with a long hallway and many rooms off to the right and left. 24 players can play at a time, we’ll have games for kids, adults and mixed each hour.
There is no food or drink in the building, however, SuperPlay will set up outdoor dining specially for us, so you will be able to order food from the menu and eat it outside, at well spaced tables. The menu includes gluten free, vegetarian and vegan food.
Tickets are non-refundable, but are transferrable. Please reach out if you’d like to transfer the ticket to someone else.
Safety
All attendees will need to mask with a high quality mask (kn94, n95, or similar), no valves or SIP valves. All staff will be wearing 3M Auras. We will try to place air purifiers throughout the venue, but the space will surely be larger than the purifiers can reasonably exchange. We are the first people in the building on Saturday, but there will have been unmasked bowlers and staffers in the evening before.
There are two spaces where you can go outside to unmask: a side door that opens to a small, long walkway and patio. This is an adults only space. There is an additional patio area to the side of the alley that will be cordoned off as a dining space for us. Tables will be spaced apart, and someone will be stationed outside to help you find a table when you come out. It’s expected that while dining, you and your group will remain at your table, seated, and will not walk around. If you have to get up from the table, put your mask back on. The only time masks should be off is while seated and eating.
Children under 2 that can’t mask are welcome at this event. We will ask parents to ensure that unmasked kids do not cross into the end of the alley and bar area, so that medically fragile folks can have their space, too. We will have laser tag games for kids only, adults only, and mixed groups, and we’ll ask that unmasked kids not be in the laser tag area during that time, again, to accommodate medically fragile folks.
If you are medically fragile and prefer to not be in a space with unmasked under 2’s, please indicate it on your ticket.
Accessibility
The entire venue is accessible, with ball ramps for the lanes, and ramps available for all stairs. The ramps are not the kind with tubing that get shaky, these are solid one piece ramps that we’ve tested, and there are plenty of them. To enter the venue, you park along the side of the building, where the handicapped spaces are. From there you’ll proceed alongside the outdoor dining area to the second set of doors. Video will be provided before the event of this path.
Inside the venue, there is a chair lift from the top level to the lower level which houses the alleys and laser tag. There’s only one lift, and it’s at the end of the alley, so based on what you want to do, you might have to travel along the back of the alleys a ways to get back to the lift. In the video, you will see the lift is out of order, however, it was repaired that same day as a condition of our contract, and their service agency is on call for the week of our event. They have guaranteed the lift will work the day of the event.
Laser tag is accessible, however- there are offshoot rooms with very steep ramps. There are still spaces you can access (each side room has a loft and lower level), but upper levels might be hard, and remember, you’re in the dark. In the game, players don’t “die”, if you get shot enough, your pack stops for a minute and then resets so you can keep playing.
The upper level is all flat, and includes the help desk, arcade, a seating area, snack bar and access to the outside, as well as the bathrooms. View the videos below to get an idea of accessibility.

Sat Night Camping in Sherwood
2025-08-30 14:00 - 2025-08-31 12:00 | West Height Orchards, Sherwood, Oregon
As part of the Big PNW COVID Cautious Meetup weekend, you might want to stay overnight near the event venues. Most of us have relied on camping as the most COVID safe lodging option (and cheapest!). We’ve secured a private, 20 acre campground in Sherwood, Oregon that can accommodate tents and RV’s. Each group will have their own site, well spaced in the golden pasture, with paths connecting them, and access to the cooking platform, with a barbeque and seating. No other groups will be placed within acres of us. You can read more about the property on Hipcamp. This site is 30 minutes from our Sat activity at SuperPlay.. It’s also about 30 min from Portland. Your ticket below is for your entire group of up to 6 people.
More about the campsite:

No campfires. Charcoal grills, gas firepits and gas BBQ are allowed, however.
No toilet; campers must bring camp toilets
Bins available-Recycling bin, trash bin
Cooking equipment present-Bbq, pizza oven
Picnic table present
No potable water
No showers

Safety
While at your campsite, masks are not required. If you approach other campsites, please mask up and announce yourselves. If you join in any activity at the dining platform, masks are expected. Basically, if you’re just in your group, masks are optional. If you are around anyone outside your group, they are expected.
Accessibility
Almost none, unfortunately. This is a pasture which has had campsites and roads mowed into it, the ground is uneven, there are inclines, and of course, no bathrooms. Still, there is a possibility of having a campsite or two at the base of the road, so you’d be very close to your car, and also at the top of the trail, near the dining platform. If this is something you’re interested in, please contact us to discuss, and we’ll see what we can make happen. As a reminder, the recommended hotels have ADA options. If you’d prefer those but cost is a barrier, reach out and we’ll see what we can do.

Saturday Night Tabletop Gaming in Beaverton
2025-08-30 18:30 - 21:30 | Marquis Tualatin Community Center, 19805 SW Boones Ferry Rd,, Tualatin, Oregon, 97062
If you’re looking for a nerdier evening, we will be hosting a night of tabletop gaming in Tualatin at the very cushy Marquis Tualatin Community Room. Run by two genuine game geeks, we’ll have a big, open indoor space with tables, chairs and air purifiers, as well as outdoor space. Spread out! We’ll host all kinds of games, based on the tickets bought below. Come prepared to play Magic the Gathering, where we’ll pair people up for standard or commander rounds. If you’re interested in strategy games like King of Tokyo, Smash Up, Catan or Ticket to Ride, we’ll host as many rounds as we have room for. But if you’re just looking for fun gamily games like Uno, Sorry, Monopoly, Life, Yahtzee or Scrabble, those will be options too. We’ll even have a few packs of cards around.
Safety
We are the only people in the building except for 1 staff person who will wear N95s throughout the evening. This is an event for ages 2+, and everyone will need to remain masked in a KN94 or N95 mask the entire time you’re in the building. The building can hold hundreds of folks, we’ll be limiting capacity to 100. The cafe will be open, and you may purchase food or drink, but you MUST go outside on the patio to unmask and consume it. You can leave the building if you need to unmask for any reason and sit on the patio, spaced apart from others. If you are inside, you are masked.
Accessibility
This is a senior center and as such is the gold standard of accessibility. There’s ample handicapped parking, the floor is smooth and flat, doors have buttons to open, and the bathrooms are fully ADA compliant. The only note is that there is a very slight incline on the ramp to the bathroom, which is down a hallway. There is a very low threshold on the doorway to the outside. You can view videos below to get a better sense.

Activity night at the Campground
2025-08-30 20:00 - 22:00 | OR
If dancing or gaming isn’t your thing, we’ve got a low intensity night planned at the campground, whether you’re camping or not. Enjoy camp snacks, games, and maybe a movie. This will be hosted by Elizabeth, our co-organizer, up at the camping platform. While the event isn’t exclusive to families with kids, it is expected to be a family friendly event. Bring your camping chair, a blanket and hang out with other campers.
It is expected that attendees over the age of 2 will mask while in attendance. This event is free, but we ask you to RSVP.
This event is in Sherwood, the address will be sent to attendees Thursday, August 28.

Saturday Night Dance Party in SE Portland
2025-08-30 20:00 - 23:00 | Inkbus Mothership, 3308 SE 50th Ave, portland, oregon, 97206
Jump to tickets
Saturday night join DJ Olivia Mutant-John, host of @electriqueboutiqueradio in Seattle, as they spin in SE PDX a mix of 80s dance/Paradise Garage inspired/four-on-the-floor shows for 18+, masked attendees. We have the whole 5000sq foot space to ourselves, inside and out to dance and connect. In the attached Tattoo studio will be two tattoo artists offering their time during the event. Both artists will be masked and have volunteered to molecular test prior to the event. Inside, there’s plenty of seating in addition to dance space. If you need to unmask, you can do so by stepping outside. We’ll have water available outside as well, but no food or alcohol at this event. There’s free parking in the neighborhood, and buses run a short walk away.

Tickets are non-refundable, but are transferrable. Contact the host if you would like to transfer your ticket.
This event was made possible through a generous donation by Seniors on the Move. We could still use additional micro sponsors, if you’re interested, please reach out via our contact form.
Safety
All three garage doors in this space will be wide open, to create lots of cross airflow. Since the space opens to the street, we are honored to have masked “guardians” who will stand at all entries to ensure that unmasked folks keep their distance. These are CC allies from the community who’ve volunteered for the event.
Everyone inside will be wearing an KN94/N95 (no valves or SIP masks, please), the garage door will be open, and we’ll have additional air purifiers in the tattoo studio and bathroom.
Accessibility
The entire building is ADA compliant, as soon as you’re on the curb in front of the building. You’ll enter from the garage doors, which have no steps. The indoor space is flat, and there are 2 ADA compliant bathrooms. In this video, you can see some of the layout, including the bathrooms. We’ve secured accessible parking at nearby businesses as well, consult the map below. Please reserve these spaces for those that need them.
https://www.covidinfopdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/PXL_20250731_2019249932.mp4

Find accessible parking (specifically for those who need it) at the driveway for the Wine and Spirit Archive, the parking lot for the Portland Wine Company, and the parking in front of WEAVE, as noted on the map.

Sunday Morning Family Fun Hour
2025-08-31 10:00 - 12:00 | OR
If you’re looking for a low key event for your family, we will be gathering at a TBD Tualatin park. We’ve rented a covered picnic space, and will have some activity toys for kids to play with. The goal of the day is to offer a free, easy way for families to interact with one another and meet other kids. Our co-organizer Elizabeth will be the host for the event, and routinely hosts similar events in Olympia.
The park itself is still open to the public, so you can and should expect unmasked folks to be within walking distance. It is expected that attendees over the age of 2 will mask while in attendance. This event is free, but we ask you to RSVP.
Accessibility
All Tualatin parks are ADA accessible, including covered picnic spaces, bathrooms and parking. We will strive to avoid any shelter or space that requires people to traverse unpaved areas.

Sunday Morning at the Goat Farm in Hillsboro
2025-08-31 10:00 - 12:00 | Portland Goat Parties, 19457 SW McCormick Hill Rd., Hillsboro, Oregon, 97123
BABY GOATS. We will be the only folks at the home of Portland Goat Parties, where there are 18 acres of animals, including ducklings, pea fowl, kittens, chicks and….yes, baby goats. We are allowed to wander on our own and interact with all the animals on this accessible farm. You are advised to bring baby carrots to feed the animals. This is a space where you’ll be able to chill out for a few hours, meet other COVID conscious people, commune with wildlife without looking over your shoulder and generally relax. The only noise is the animals and other people. You can see more about the goat farm here.
One staff (the farmer) will be present, wearing an N95 mask when within 30 feet of us (and was happy to do so). Attendees are expected to wear an kn94 or n95 mask while on the farm. If you need to unmask, you are asked to step at least 30 feet away from other attendees (there’s plenty of space to do so). This is an all ages event, including kids under 2 that can not mask. Kids under 2 and care givers do not need to purchase a ticket.
Accessibility
Although the owner/farmer on site swears that people have visited with all kinds of wheelchairs and assistive devices, there are no paved walkways. The ground does seem quite solid, barring rain. Watch the video to see more about the location and how you would navigate it. If there are additional actions we can take to make this more accessible, please reach out. We’re quite happy to try.

COVID Cautious Crafting in Phoenix, Arizona
2025-10-27 17:30 - 20:30 | Hana Japanese Eatery, 5524 N 7 Ave,, Phoenix,, AZ, 85013, United States
We’re taking our events on the road! Join us in Phoenix, Arizona for a night of collage with Amanda Hawkins, a longtime professional designer. You’ll be working on your own project, alongside other COVID Cautious folks.
Precautions
The event will be held at a restaurant in CenPho, which is closed Mondays, so no one will have been in the space since Sunday night. The capacity for the place is about 60, but we’ll limit this event to 16 people. We’ll be the only people in the space in addition to one staff person who will wear an N95. There will be two additional high powered air purifiers.
Attendees must wear a well fitted KN94, N95 or p100 mask, no valves or sip valves, please. Everyone will sit at a long table together, so you will be sitting near other masked folks. Do not come if you are experiencing symptoms of any kind, and if you regularly experience symptoms due to allergies, please test the afternoon before coming. If anyone appears to have symptoms, we will ask you to leave, and if you are wearing a mask that appears baggy, has a vent, or isn’t atleast a KN94, we will ask you to swap it for one that is. My events don’t remove all risk, there’s no way to do that. But I try very hard to accommodate as many people as I can, while creating avenues for safer get togethers.
Accessibility
The restaurant is fully ADA accessible. There are no steps to get into the building or in the building itself, there is ADA parking in the lot, and the bathroom also meets ADA standards. As a practice of collaging, you may want to use scissors, glue, paint, pastels, pencils, etc which may prove difficult if you experience dexterity issues, but none of these modalities are requirements. If you require accommodations, please just let me know and we’ll try our best to figure it out.
Cost
This event is not-for-profit, meaning the cost of tickets cover the expenses, nothing more, and we strive to make the event as inexpensive as possible. Additionally, we’ve made 30% of tickets $1, for community members for whom cost is a barrier.

Wicked 2: For Good Movie Showing
2025-11-23 09:30 - 12:00 | Academy Theater, 7818 SE Stark St,, Portland,, OR, 97215, United States
This is a private showing of the movie Wicked 2:For Good, specially scheduled for COVID conscious people- hooray! We will be the only people in the entire theater except for one theater worker who will let us in, and they will be masked as well. The theater holds about 100 people, and I will cap attendance at 30 people to allow for distancing. Ages 8+.
PRECAUTIONS
Well fitted KN94, N95 or p100 masking is required the entire duration of the show, no exhausts or SIP valves. There is no eating or drinking during the show, and if you need to remove your mask for any reason, please leave the theater to do so. Only one employee will be present, they will also be masked. No one will have been in the theater since the night before. We will be in a theater with vastly more capacity, so you can space out. We will also add 2 air purifiers to the theater.
ACCESSIBILITY
All of the theaters are at least partially accessible by wheelchair. All of the theaters have some percentage of seating that has stairs and is not wheelchair accessible, but all have designated wheelchair areas with seats that the end armrest raises. Our bathrooms and front doors are also wheelchair accessible. Academy has 2 kinds of closed captioning devices, a small monitor that attaches to the cupholder on the armrest and discreetly plays captions on a small screen or glasses that project the captions onto the glass, or headphones that amplify the sound of the movie or deliver a descriptive audio track or both. Closed captioning and descriptive audio tracks are available for most movies, but they are not available for some, especially our classic repertory films.
PLEASE BE COURTEOUS
This movie will begin at 9:30am, sharp, and we’re closing the doors as soon as the movie starts, so please consider time for parking and traffic when planning to arrive. The movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes and the theater has graciously shaved off previews and credits so we can get in and out before doors open for regular showings at 12:15. (Regular customers will come in the front at 12:15, we’re leaving out the back.) Please thank the theater staff. Also, and I can not stress this enough, please do not sing along to the movie, no matter how good your voice is.
TERMS
These tickets are non-refundable, but you can transfer them to someone else. If you arrive after 9:30am, you won’t be able to get in, and forfeit the ticket.
FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY
The theater charges $250 for the first 38 attendees, and $6.50 for each attendee thereafter. We determined the cost of tickets based on how many people expressed interest in the event, so we meet the minimum, and any additional funds (minus Paypal fees) will go towards offset tickets at future events for attendees where cost is a barrier. There is no profit on these events.

The Big PNW COVID Cautious Meetup 2026
2026-09-05 00:00 - 2026-09-07 23:59 | Tacoma, Wa, Tacoma, WA
