The Advantages of doing Business in the Northwest

  • Portland is a strategic west coast hub for trade, commerce and travel throughout North America, Asia, and Europe.
  • The metro area is served by two transcontinental railroads: Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific.
  • The region is also well served by 13 all-air cargo carriers that include nonstop service to Asia, including Beijing and Seoul.
  • Two major interstate highways, Interstate 5 and Interstate 84, intersect in the metro area.
  • The Port of Portland and the Port of Vancouver offer one of the most comprehensive maritime complexes in the Pacific Northwest, now offering direct shipments of containerized cargos to Asia, Europe and South America.
  • The available labor is plentiful and well educated: almost 40% of the region’s adult population has an associate’s college degree or higher level of education, compared to the national average of 24%.
  • The state ranks well in the Tax Foundation’s State Business Tax Climate Index: Oregon ranks 10th and the state of Washington ranks 11th.
  • The region offers two distinct utility advantages to business and industry: a pure and plentiful water supply, and a low-cost hydroelectric power base.
