THE DALLES COMMUNITY

The City of The Dalles, Oregon, is the county seat and the largest community in Wasco County. Strategically located on the Columbia River and bordered by the Cascade Mountains to the West, The Dalles provides an ideal distribution or manufacturing setting with available riverside locations, as well as bulk container and international shipping options. It has historically been an economic hub of the Pacific Northwest, linking major transportation routes between Eastern and Southern Oregon and Washington State. It offers residents the pleasure of rural living while providing the advantages of access to metropolitan amenities in Portland, only 80 miles to the west.

The economic future of the areas is quickly diversifying. In the last few years the area is drawing the attention of hi tech and several design engineering companies. Internet giant Google, enticed by both the lifestyle of the area and ready access to a consistent power supply is opened a data center in the The Dalles in the fall of 2006.
