The Columbia River and Multnomah Channel define Folkenberg’s setting on Sauvie Island — their waters separate this low-lying Oregon community from the mainland and sustain the fertile fields around it. Agriculture gives the island much of its identity, with seasonal farm stands selling berries, corn and pumpkins. Working farms share the island with the Sauvie Island Wildlife Area, whose wetlands provide habitat for migratory waterfowl. Levees and rural roads, rather than dense development, shape this quieter edge of the Portland region. Browse other webcams across northwestern Oregon to place this island setting in a wider geographic context.
