On the north bank of the Columbia River, separating Washington from Oregon, lies Portland’s largest suburb and the fourth largest city in Washington: Vancouver. This riverfront retreat is filled with a rich history, abundance of shopping, outdoor recreation, and a family-friendly atmosphere. With excellent public schools like Hudson Bay High School, families flock to this thriving suburb. There are more than enough community parks to keep outdoor lovers content, including Vancouver Lake Regional Park, LeRoy Haagen Memorial Community Park, Orchards Community Park, Esther Short Park and Playground, and Frenchman’s Bar Regional Park, a fisherman’s oasis.
Interstates 5 and 205 run directly through town, connecting Vancouver to Portland, so commuting is a breeze – not to mention Vancouver is just across the river from the Portland International Airport.
