West Linn, Oregon
West Linn is a diverse city of more than 21,000 residents with a rugged beauty that climbs from sea level at the Willamette River to the soaring views of the area's luxury hilltop homes.
With Portland just 8 miles to the North, it's true that many who live here make their living outside the city limits. But that doesn't make West Linn any less a true hometown with a distinct identity. Called the "City of Hills, Trees and Rivers", West Linn could also be called a city of neighborhoods - many housing types are available, from historic Willamette district homes with pioneer era dwellings to new homes in neighborhoods currently under construction.
Among West Linn's special assets are its dedicated parks and open spaces, where residents and visitors can stroll among Douglas firs and take in panoramic views of the Willamette and Tualatin rivers, with Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens and the Cascade range as a backdrop. West Linn's residents are among the best educated in Oregon and earn incomes well above the state average.
Civic pride and a strong volunteer base benefit both the city government and the school district. The Old Fashioned Fair, a 50-year-old tradition held every July, brings the community together in a three-day celebration. West Linn is just 20 minutes from the Portland International Airport. Access to Portland is via Highway 43 (Willamette Drive) and Interstate 205.
