After a tumultous year that saw lawsuits, flagship closures, and the death of co-founder Steve Kline, the Portland-based Typhoon! Thai chain permanently shuttered all remaining Washington and Oregon locations on Saturday. Co-owner Bo Kline announced the closures in a press release, saying, "As many in the community are aware, I lost my husband, my business and life partner, Steve, last year. Without his energy, support and commitment, operating Typhoon! has required much more attention than I am able to give and has begun to take a toll on my health." [Eater Portland]
