The Willamette Valley

When you travel the Willamette valley you will see it’s a pretty big area, after all 70% of Oregon’s population is here. Take that a step further and try to travel around Oregon and see everything, huge chore. You realize how big of a state we have.

From a geological standpoint one state is not a very big area, at least when it comes to different kinds of historic events.

Back in early history  a  Lake in Missoula Montana breached when an ice bridge broke and created a flood that headed west through Washington eventually coming down the Columbia River and into the Willamette Valley. This flood pushed topsoil and sediment down the river where much rested in the Willamette Valley. This is one of the reasons the soil is so good here.

The Willamette Valley has many main towns and cities in it. South to north there is Eugene, Corvallis, Albany. Lebanon, Salem, Dallas, Woodburn, Wilsonville, Beaverton, Oregon City, Hillsboro, Portland and many more. So much to choose from.

Oregon has always been known for its Timber, but with the Willamette Valley and the farm land in central Oregon produce a huge amount of food. Central Oregon is also known for its Alfalfa, watermelons, grass and beef.

Oregon has many different eco systems. If you are looking for the beach it is a quick 1.25 hours from Salem. If its central Oregon and the pine timber just hear east 2 hours from Salem to the town of Sisters, OR. The further east you go the dryer it gets.

The north end of the valley has a bunch going on, Portland. This area has its share of traffic, high prices, people and all the big city joys you would expect.
