Cities of the Gorge
The West Columbia River Gorge region serves as an important transit point between the Portland metro area and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Within its boundaries travelers will find easy transportation via Portland International Airport, I-84, I-205, the Halsey Corridor, and the Historic Columbia River Highway. Residents, employers, and visitors value the easy access to the cities of Troutdale, Wood Village, Fairview, and Cascade Locks, and to the outstanding recreation, cultural, retail and culinary amenities available throughout the area.
City of Wood Village
Wood Village has experienced consistent growth both in residential and business development. The city is literally at the edge of the Columbia River Gorge, near the easterly edge of the Portland Metropolitan Area. The Byway, which is a large mixed-use development with 174 housing units and over 10,000 square feet of commercial space continues to thrive due to its convenient location and innovative residential and business space. In recent years, the city has completed a new City Hall and Civic Center which serves as the headquarters for the city as well as a meeting and gathering place. The facilities feature a large plaza, splash pad and private event space. Visitors to the town center will appreciate the new restaurants and pubs now operating there. The crown jewel of the city is the Donald L. Robertson Community Park which was named in 2001 for a past mayor who served 22 years on the City Council. The city’s comprehensive resource guide in three languages continues to be popular among residents and business owners. The guide provides full-service translation either through staff or a contracted provider. It’s just another way community leaders are creating a Wood Village that’s unique, special, and that serves its community! www.woodvillageor.gov | 503-667-6211
City of Wood Village
City of Fairview
Fairview is located along the curves of the Columbia River at the east edge of the Portland metro area. Its residents love its bird-filled wetlands, lakes, bike trails and pedestrian-friendly village.
Incorporated in 1908, this city of 9,000 offers a quaint downtown. Just south of Halsey Street’s commercial core, Fairview Community Park lies adjacent to Fairview Village, a mixed-use neighborhood where homes and parks are near shops, restaurants and pubs. The city’s largest park, Salish Ponds Wetlands Park features a riparian habitat, forest trails, and ponds. Blue Lake Park offers a swim area, pedal boats, and picnic areas.

City of Troutdale
This Gateway to the Gorge is a melding of modern amenities with a rich history. From its incorporation in 1907, its population now heads towards 17,000. Near the confluence of Sandy and Columbia Rivers, it serves as a vibrant connection among thriving cities and the world-famous recreation areas of the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood.
Public art graces the city while Reynolds Industrial Park is home to many companies that appreciate its proximity to Portland International Airport and Troutdale Airport. From a tourism perspective the Columbia Gorge Outlet Mall attracts thousands of visitors each year. The Gateway to the Gorge Center provides information on the Mt. Hood Columbia River Gorge Region.

City of Cascade Locks
Known for its location in the “Heart of the Gorge,” Cascade Locks is a quiet scenic mountain village only 30 minutes from Portland. Most visitors travel to this scenic city by following the Historic Columbia River Highway or by traveling I-84 but hikers will tell you their favorite route to the city is via the Pacific Crest Trail. The history of Cascade Locks is tied to the Columbia River and its name came from a set of locks completed in 1896 to improve navigation through the river’s cascading rapids. Cascade Locks is home to the Sternwheeler Columbia Gorge, which hosts daily and nightly cruises. Just upstream from Cascade Locks is the Bridge of the Gods, a toll bridge that spans the Columbia River. With its international sailing competitions, windsurfing, unique restaurants and breweries, parks and hiking trails, Cascade Locks is a great city to visit or call home. www.cascade-locks.or.us | 541-374-8484

City of Wood Village – Historic Landmarks
Declaring “It’s everything you need in one square mile,” Wood Village assures it is an excellent place to live or visit while exploring and enjoying the Mt. Hood Highway and the Columbia River Highway. Historically it was the home of the Chinook, the first native people to live in the hills along the Columbia River. Hundreds thrived in the village of Nechacokee, located near today’s Blue Lake Park. There they gathered huckleberries and cedar bark for making baskets, fished, and traveled by cedar canoe. This friendly still-small city has grown to feature retail areas for shopping, plus some tasty dishes at restaurants, quelling that hunger to keep you going.
