Getting Around

Over 3.5 million people live within a one hour drive of Tualatin, yet Tualatin remains a comfortable and complete community of its own. Located in the Willamette Valley, Tualatin is 20 minutes south of  downtown Portland and just 35 minutes from the Portland International Airport. The city is well served by freeways and highways at the Junction of I-5 and I- 205. Tualatin is adjacent to the Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 99), placing it just a little over an hour’s drive from the Oregon Coast. Along the way, you can travel some of the Oregon’s most beautiful country roads flanked by inviting wineries and lush nurseries, or try your luck at two popular Native American-operated casinos.
