As we move ever closer to moving into Portland’s newest cohousing community, all of us Cathedral Park Cohousing members are starting to get excited for all the big and little ways our lives will be changing in the coming years. Several of us are from outside of Portland, and contemplating both the downsizing to come, and a move to a whole new city. We’re loving hearing stories from friends at Skagit Commons and other cohousing communities across the Pacific Northwest as they settle into their new homes.
In addition to getting ready to move north from the Bay Area, where I’ve spent my entire adult life, I’m starting to explore some of the smaller ways my life will change—simple things, like how I cook!
Like many new projects, (and all new builds in Multnomah County) Cathedral Park Cohousing will be an all-electric build, as part of our effort to have a lighter footprint on the planet. While I am all for that in theory, I have to say I’m a little nervous about how that will work in my kitchen.
