NORTH PLAINS

North Plains, a charming rural town located in Washington County, just 19 miles west of Portland, is surrounded by miles of picturesque farmland, creeks, and forest lands near the foothills of the Coastal range. Referred to the “City to the Sunset”, the small town is situated adjacent to Highway 26, the major thoroughfare from Portland to the Oregon coast. With an estimated population of 17,000 (not including horses), North Plains is home to many wonderful family activities and festivals that attract visitors from all over the state, such as the Elephant Garlic Festival, Horning’s Hideout, Lakeview Farms, and of course, the 18-hole championship golf course: Pumpkin Ridge.
