About Vancouver, WA:

In Vancouver, you will get to enjoy the excitement of a major metropolitan area with the small-town charm and abundant recreational opportunities.  You will cherish seasonal events like the October Dine in the Couve foodie experience, the winter Christmas Ships Afloat the Columbia River, the spring farmer’s markets and Craft Beer & Wine Festivals, and the summertime movies in the park and concerts at sunset. Vancouver is less than 20 minutes from downtown Portland, OR, where you'll find a wealth of cultural and sporting events.  This city is nestled right between the Columbia River and the Pacific Northwest's world-famous Cascade Mountains, both of which are a paradise for outdoor lovers. Our favorite pastimes include camping, hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, climbing, biking, and all other forms of general exploring you can dream up; there really is no “off-season” in Vancouver!
