Carnation

Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to the dairy industry as Carnation. This small locality sits in Washington County’s Tualatin Valley, an agricultural corridor between Portland’s western suburbs and the Coast Range. The Tualatin River flows through the valley to the south, while fields, nurseries and rural roads remain central to the area’s working character. Nearby Forest Grove is home to Pacific University, founded in 1849, one of Oregon’s oldest institutions of higher education. Carnation feels distinctly less urban than central Portland while remaining part of its wider metropolitan region.
