Key Points from the Beaverton article:
- Blissfully stuck between Portland’s hipness and the untamed wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, Beaverton is essentially the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of cities: you get the best of both worlds.
- Contrary to its name, Beaverton isn’t a city of oversized rodents. Although beavers do call Tualatin River, which meanders across the city’s southern portions, their home – don’t worry, they’re mostly harmless.
- Beaverton enjoys an excellent reputation for its schools in the state. If you’re passionate about offsprings having ample knowledge, then Beaverton is your place to be!
- Did you know that Beaverton is the corporate HQ of Nike? Well, now you do. And with that comes gorgeous campuses, employment opportunities, and, most importantly, the constant smell of fresh sneakers wafting through the city.
- Beaverton’s community spirit sizzles like bacon on a Sunday morning griddle. The city is home to more than a hundred parks, the Annual Beaverton Night Market, and a bustling farmers’ market. It’s a community-lover’s paradise!
Hot Take:
Imagine if Portland and the Pacific Northwest had a baby that doesn’t scale skyscrapers or build dams but invests in educating its kids and creating jobs. You’d have Beaverton! And it’s the perfect blend of big city luxury and wilderness whimsy.
Educational opportunities? Woot! Employment in a global sports giant? Check. Lively community markets? Happy days! Beaverton might not be the seat of a leader who holds the nation’s fate in their tweets, but hey, with Nike, good schools, a thriving community spirit, and beavers, it probably doesn’t even need the headache.
Even the oversized rodents are the polite, charming kind (we hope), hanging around the southern part of the city, contributing to their mini-eco system. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the occasional sight of wildlife from their kitchen window? Beaverton shows us how it’s possible to put the “living” back into city living. And for that, we let out a rallying cry long live Beaverton!
So, in a world where cities battle to be the best and the biggest, Beaverton is like, “Nah mate, I’d rather be my own wonderful self, thank you very much!”. And frankly, we need more Beavertons in the world. You go, Beaver-town!
That’s why Beaverton isn’t just known for… wait, what’s it known for again? Oh yeah, being awesome in its peculiarly huggable way. So my friends, let’s raise a glass to Beaverton, Oregon — the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of cities!
