Beaverton: Washington County - Scholls Ferry at OR217
Beaverton is best known within Oregon for being home to Nike’s world headquarters. The city lies in the Tualatin Valley, west of Portland, amid the low, wooded terrain of the Portland metropolitan area; the Tualatin River runs through the wider valley south of the city. Incorporated in 1893, Beaverton developed from an agricultural community into a substantial suburban employment centre. Oregon Route 217 is one of its main north–south road links, meeting Scholls Ferry Road near commercial and office districts. Downtown’s Beaverton City Library and The Round form part of a civic core served by MAX light rail, while parks and neighbourhoods extend across Washington County.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
