What’s Up in West Linn?

By Shannon Ilas, June 20, 2023

Why West Linn?

I currently live in West Linn and love its small town feel, yet it’s close enough to all the action in Portland.  Here are my top 10 reasons for thinking about West Linn for your next move:

  1. Friendly, safe community that truly cares about each other
  2. World-class dining, theater and nightlife is 25 minutes away in Portland
  3. Top-rated schools (High school is in the top 4 of the state)
  4. Outdoor recreational activities close by (Mt. Hood is only an hour away!), including the Oregon Golf Club
  5. In between 2 rivers (Willamette and Tualatin)
  6. 26 parks within a 7-mile radius with trails and natural scenic beauty (Mary S Young and Willamette Park are my favorites)
  7. Easy to put in your boat, kayak or paddle board on the river
  8. Excellent local dining options, including the new Willamette Garage Food Trucks
  9. Several local wineries nearby:  Tumwater, Pete’s Mountain and Oswego Hills
  10. Easy access to the freeway to head out to the Willamette Valley Wine Country, central Oregon, Vancouver, or where ever your heart takes you
