Located in Oregon’s beautiful Washington County, Sherwood serves as a fantastic place to both live and work! Voted the 18th Best Places to Live in 2007, Sherwood was also recently ranked the 5th Best Small Town for Families in America in 2013 by CNN Money. With the city of Portland located approximately thirty minutes away, Sherwood has become the premiere city to live in for commuting employees. Additionally, with the city of Sherwood dedicating 300 acres for further employment and economic development, the city’s future as a thriving economy and flourishing community continues to have a sunny forecast.
With a current population just over 18,000 residents, Sherwood also provides a unique mixture of urban lifestyle while maintaining its small-town charm. As part of retaining its small-town charm, Sherwood’s historic Old Town serves as a hub for community events and festivals. The Old Town also features Cannery Square Plaza where the Sherwood Saturday Market is held every Saturday from May through September. The Saturday Market provides a venue for the community to support local artisans, chefs, and farmers.
