Commute Times in West Linn
Ron Ares May 10th, 2007
Many residents choose the West Linn area to live because of the school districts, neighborhood dynamics, housing choices, and attractive natural surroundings.
But daily commuting to work or other common destinations can be another critical factor. West Linn is fortunate to have a couple major routes in and out of town (Highway 43 and I-205), but just like other Portland-area suburbs, can suffer from congestion spots during rush hour traffic.
If daily drives are an important criteria for your decision to move to or live in West Linn, here is a sample of miles and driving time, courtesy of Google Maps. Note: they are not adjusted for rush hour traffic loads:
| Destination | Miles | Minutes |
| Lake Oswego | 5 | 11 |
| Oregon City | 6 | 14 |
| Tualatin | 9 | 14 |
| Clackamas | 9 | 15 |
| Tigard | 9 | 22 |
| Portland (Downtown) | 11 | 23 |

| Sherwood | 14 | 22 |

| Bend | 172 | 3hr, 29min |
| Seattle, WA | 189 | 3hr, 7min |
Note: All starting destinations begin in the Hidden Springs/Rosemont Rd. area, which is roughly the most central point for the majority of West Linn residents. The ending point is generically where Google chooses for that particular city.
