PORTLAND, Ore. It s been a long and devastating week for one Portland business. Fire destroyed Portland Garment Factory on Southeast 79th and Stark early Monday morning. Investigators ruled it arson.
Located in the Montavilla neighborhood, Portland Garment Factory produces clothing and soft goods. Just two days before the fire, owner Britt Howard said she had been feeling extremely positive about work and the future of her business.
“I went home to my husband on Friday and said, ‘I m feeling so creative and alive and actually proud of myself,” recalled Howard. “‘Something is happening. Something is about to change.’ I actually said those words.”
