PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An increased spread of the measles in the metro area has people changing their shopping and dining habits.
Officials are confirming three new exposure sites at restaurants in Gresham and West Linn and a grocery store in Portland, the Safeway on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard. Some people are taking extra steps to protect their families.
“Hearing that there was measles in this area is enough to make me turn around and call them.

So I’m going to step away and go to a different Safeway now.”
