Salem: Oregon's Capital City

by Sherri 5. February 2009 12:37

Salem is the capital city of Oregon and the second largest city in the State. It is a beautiful place to live and to visit. Salem is in the center of the Willamette River Valley and is so centrally located that it is only an hour from Portland ( the largest city), an hour from ocean beaches, an hour from the Cascade mountains. Population is approx. 150,000.

Salem has an absolutely wonderful K-12 school district and five higher educational institutions. Over 13 public or private colleges or universities are wthin a 70 mile radius.

We have a wide variety of things to do and see. Museums, historic sites, wineries (including wine tours), Art fairs, music and cultural events.

Salem is surrounded by farmland, fields of Iris, orchards (including fruit & filberts) and vineyards.Farmers markets offer a large amount of produce and handmade craft items. We are a short way from Silverton, home of the Oregon Gardens.

Everyone should have the opportunity to visit this community, we are a wonderful place to live, work and visit!
