About Beaverton

Beaverton is a city of about 100,000 people in the Tualatin Valley, about 7 miles west of downtown Portland. Named for the beaver dams that once covered the area's wetlands, it grew from a farming town into the heart of Oregon's Silicon Forest, home to Nike's world headquarters and many tech companies.

The Beaverton Farmers Market is one of the largest in Oregon, filling downtown on Saturdays from spring to fall, and the city's food scene reflects its many cultures, with Korean, Vietnamese, Indian and Mexican restaurants across town. The Round, a ring of shops and apartments around a MAX light rail station, and the Beaverton Town Square with its clock tower are local landmarks, and the Beaverton City Library has a striking modern building beside the city park.

The Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District runs dozens of parks, including the Tualatin Hills Nature Park, a wooded refuge with trails and an interpretive center right in the middle of the city. Cooper Mountain Nature Park offers valley views, and the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts hosts concerts and theater.

Best seasonMay to September for the farmers market, dry sunny days and park trails.
Ideal stayHalf a day for downtown and a nature park, longer as a base for Portland.
ArrivingPortland International Airport is about 20 miles northeast, and MAX light rail runs from downtown Portland to Beaverton.
