The Albany farmers’ market opened its 2026 season today by returning to the riverfront, its Saturday home for 28 years until it moved near City Hall in 2007.
Now we know how much Pacific Power customers within the city of Albany will pay as their share of the cost of putting power lines under ground on a section of Water Avenue.
