West Linn

Called the city of hills, trees and rivers, West Linn’s Portland homes house about 24,000 residents, and is located along the Willamette and Tualatin rivers just 20 minutes from downtown Portland. The area was first settled in the early 1840’s when Robert Moore purchased 1,000 acres of land from the Wallamut Indians and set out to build a town called Robin's Nest. It was eventually incorporated as West Linn in 1913.
