Beaverton sits in the Tualatin Valley west of Portland, a city that grew from farm fields into a tech and family suburb. The Jenkins Estate, a historic property turned public park, offers gardens, trails, and a grand old house, and Tualatin Hills Nature Park protects wetlands and forests in the middle of town. The Beaverton Farmers Market, one of the largest in the region, fills downtown Saturdays with farm stalls and food carts, and the Beaverton City Library anchors a civic center that draws readers from across the valley. Nike's world headquarters sits just outside the city, a reminder of the valley's global reach.
