Living in the Willamette Valley 

Composed of lush rolling hills, evergreen forests, rambling rivers and waterfalls, the Willamette Valley is a beautiful place to live. If adventure is what you’re after, the capital city of Salem where Chemeketa is located is less than an hour from glaciated mountain peaks to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west and the massive Columbia River Gorge to the North.

If culture is what you seek, the Willamette Valley is the most populated area in Oregon and contains it’s three largest cities: Salem, Portland and Eugene, which are home to many museums and theaters. The Valley is also known for its vineyards, breweries and fantastic casual dining experiences.
