> 9450 S. W. Barns Rd

Portlandians: Are Barns Rd and Barnes Rd the same thing? Looks like a nice spot if so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468

That building is now a SFX agency: https://hellohinge.com/ (No relation to the dating app)

Also curious if the TEKsystems employment agency next door took its name from Tektronix.

Quite likely. The Tektronix Industrial Park is only a mile or two from there.

There's also a museum that may be of interest here: https://vintagetek.org/

Yes, that's the same museum as the site with the article.

If you ever find yourself in Oregon, it's a wonderful place to visit if you like electronics, manufacturing history, etc.

Yes, that Barns without the e is a mistype, which is funny given it was the Oregonian.

You can see a copy of TekTimes:

They reference the building on 9450 Barnes Rd.. and indeed that building is still there today.
