Tualatin sits along the Tualatin River at the southern edge of Washington County, straddling the boundary between Washington and Clackamas Counties. The city has a defined civic center around Tualatin Commons, a landscaped urban lake surrounded by restaurants, retail, and the public library that functions as a genuine gathering point. Population is around 28,000.
The city grew significantly through the 1990s and 2000s as a planned residential and commercial hub along Interstate 5. That legacy is visible in the housing stock, which skews newer than most metro cities. It’s also visible in the employment base, which includes major distribution, manufacturing, and healthcare employers along the Interstate 5 corridor.
