Civilization has historically settled and flourished around rivers, and Portland is no exception, with the Willamette and Columbia rivers flowing through its front yard. Both are significant environmental and economic forces, and both serve and benefit those throughout our region and beyond.

In this first installment of the Working Waterfront series, you’ll learn how rivers have been and continue to be an integral part of this region’s evolution, and how they are intertwined with transportation, trade, jobs, irrigation, power, drinking water, food, and more.
