Beaverton

Portland's western neighbor

Beaverton is a city in northwestern Oregon, part of the Portland metropolitan area.

It's the state's sixth-largest city, known for being Nike's world headquarters.

The name comes from beaver dams that once lined local creeks: I commute from Beaverton to downtown Portland.
