As
the government seat of Washington county, and a prosperous
center of technological and agricultural industry, Hillsboro
is a community with much to offer. Because of such growth,

on maintaining a small-town feel. As well as its own charm,
Hillsboro is strategically located in the Willamette Valley.
It is less than 30 minutes from Portland, "America's
Most Liveable City," 60 minutes from the famed Oregon
coast, and a short drive from countless golf courses, wineries
and vinyards, and any number of venues for outdoor activities.
