    Forest Grove, (pop. 27,551), is located in Washington County in beautiful northwest Oregon, surrounded by rolling hills, evergreen forests, and vineyards that create a scenic backdrop for year-round recreation. From wineries and art galleries to concerts, sports fields, and lakes, Forest Grove offers an abundance of opportunities to live, work, and play in a vibrant and engaging setting. The city offers convenient access to the Portland metropolitan area and the Oregon Coast. Forest Grove is also served by the TriMet regional bus system, with 15-minute service that connects to the MAX light rail just six miles away, linking residents directly to downtown Portland. Forest Grove is home to Pacific University, the first university established west of the Mississippi, the roots of Willamette Valley’s pinot noir industry, and a thriving community of artists, academics, and outdoor enthusiasts.
