We’ve got a growing economy, a lot to do and see, and plenty of culture and recreation for a diverse population of visitors and residents.

Best Value in the Pacific Northwest
People think about the Pacific Northwest and they worry about the cost of living.
Good news. In Vancouver and throughout Southwest Washington, the cost of living is nearly 5 percent lower than the rest of the region. It’s a full 12 percent lower than the cost of living in Portland, Oregon.
Housing costs are a major factor in this math. You’ll pay a lot less to buy or
rent a home in this area than you would in other markets along the Pacific Northwest.
Nature and Recreation Abounds
If you’re the sort who enjoys hiking, fishing, camping, bike riding, or simply enjoying an afternoon in the park, Southwest Washington is for you. There are abundant green spaces and a lot of trails, lakes, rivers, and mountains. The views are astonishing, the natural beauty is a huge draw, and there are a lot of opportunities for outdoor sports and activities all year long.
Residents enjoy the Columbia River Gorge and the Cascade Range foothills. There are more than 90 parks in the city of Vancouver alone, with an additional 20 natural areas. If you’re hoping to be outdoors as much as possible, you’ll want to move here and enjoy the open spaces and stunning environment.
