Renamed Tumwater Middle School honors Chinuk Wawa language
The Beaverton School Board decided on the name at its Tuesday, Feb. 22 meeting.
The Beaverton School Board has selected a name for a new middle school located in the Cedar Mill area.
On Monday, Feb. 22, the board unanimously decided on the name Tumwater Middle School for the school located on Northwest 118th Avenue, which has been previously referred to as Timberland. The district solicited input from the overall community, including a Native American parent group and various tribal partners, according to Beaverton School District spokesperson Shellie Bailey-Shah.
Tumwater means waterfall in the Chinuk Wawa language. The language, also called Shawash-Wawa, originated at the mouth of the Columbia and spread throughout the Pacific Northwest, according to Lane Community College. It served as a language of exchange and trade for tribal and non-tribal people.

Ulven Companies celebrate 50 years of business in 2021, growing from a Molalla shed to a global supplier.
In 1971 a young Oregon couple, Andrew and Diane Ulven, had a life-determining decision to make.
Andy had a couple of years of law school behind him, had worked in sales for a few years, and had previously worked more hands on with hot metal. Diane had a tidy savings account.
When the couple discussed their future, they decided that a life in which they were able to make their own decisions, decide their own fate, was preferable to other options before them. So they took $3,000 and purchased Molalla Iron Works, described in reminiscence as a two-man operation producing low volume products, mostly pins and repair parts, on a 500-pound Little Giant trip hammer.
