About Tualatin
Tualatin is a suburban city situated primarily in Washington County, with a small portion extending into Clackamas County, south of Tigard within the Portland Metro area. The city takes its name from the Tualatin River, which flows along most of its northern boundary and shapes much of the surrounding landscape.
The city has a mix of residential neighborhoods and significant commercial and industrial activity. Bridgeport Village, an outdoor shopping center built on a former quarry site, is one of the area's best-known commercial destinations, along with Nyberg Woods. Tualatin is also home to a number of manufacturers and corporate headquarters, reflecting its role as an employment center within Washington County.
Interstate 5 passes through the area, and TriMet serves the city with bus lines and WES Commuter Rail at Tualatin Station, connecting to Beaverton and Wilsonville.
