Just a quick thought here. You probably know this, but it seems that if you want to buy local and organic in Washington County your choices are limited to the Farmer's markets, New Seasons and Wild Oats. Yes, the other grocery chains are adding to their organic lines, but the named outlets provide more organic choices and also a lot of locally-sourced items.
I don't know of any co-ops or other such things out here.
Thoughts?

For better living in Beaverton Oregon and environs.
We live in the suburbs. We do not love being tied to our cars, shopping at chain stores, living the rat race. We want to be involved with our community, stop global warming, appreciate nature and culture. But we are working hard and raising families. Who has the time?

What about farmers' markets? There's the Cedar Mill market: http://www.thegnar.org/cmfmarket/index.html
and the Beaverton Farmers' Market: http://www.beavertonfarmersmarket.com/
Indeed. Everyone should visit the Beaverton Farmers' Market at least once. It is surprisingly awesome. But the farmers' markets are only open during limited hours and in season.
