Welcome to Vancouver, Washington!

Congratulations on your decision to relocate to Vancouver, Washington.  You are about to begin an exciting journey by taking this big step.  And to make sure your move goes smoothly this site has been designed just for you.  

On this website, you will find information about all the communities in the County.  Services will take you to information on utilities, government, schools and banks in the area.  Activities will show you historical sites, youth and professional sports, hiking trails, information on the Columbia Gorge and much more.

Moving is a major life change and there are many details that must be taken into consideration.  Regardless of your reasons for relocating, be it retirement, employment or you just love the city as much as we do, you will not be alone.  We are the experts on Vancouver and whatever you want or need to know all you have to do is ask us!  We are here for you and will do our absolute best to ensure that this move is the smoothest you have ever made.

One of the first things you will learn about your new community is how close to Portland, Oregon you are.  In fact, the two cities are so close many people that live in Washington work in Oregon, which is only a short trip across the Columbia river. 

There are many reasons that people choose to live in Vancouver and commute to Portland.  A few of the reasons include livability. We don't have the over crowding that you experience in a major city and we still have the "hometown" feeling while offering all the perks of being next door to Portland.   You may find that property is not as expensive as it is in a large city and your dollar will go further towards purchasing your home.  Washington also does not have a State income tax which makes living here very attractive to many people.

There are two main arterials that lead into Vancouver from Portland, Interstate 205, which goes to the east side, and I-5, which goes to the west side.  This will become important to you because this may dictate which side of the city you choose to live. 

Clark County includes Vancouver, which is divided into four sections and smaller outlaying cities.  The outlaying cities include Camas, which is east of Vancouver, Battle Ground and Yacolt, which are northeast of Vancouver, La Center,  Ridgefield and Woodland, which are north and Washougal which is next to Camas.  Camas and Washougal are so close they are considered sister cities.  If you are not familiar with the areas I would recommend that you spend some time exploring them all.  It will be worth the time because each has a different appeal and offers diverse amenities. 

No matter where you choose to live you will be close to the Pacific Ocean, volcanic mountains, and the high desert.  The Northwest is one of those magical regions of the United States that offers its residents a bit of it all. 

So take you time exploring the site and learning about your new community.  And remember that if you can't find the information you are looking for on the site all you have to do is contact me and I will find it for you.
