  Welcome to the Westside
Westside Economic Alliance is focused on the needs of the Westside of the Portland, OR metropolitan region, which includes Washington County and western Clackamas County, and the cities of Beaverton, Cornelius, Durham, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Sherwood, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville.

Westside Economic Alliance is a proactive organization that invites private sector employers, non-profit organizations, and real estate developers to sit at the same table as community leaders to shape local public policy. The result is a unique partnership that benefits both the businesses and communities of the Westside.


By providing a business perspective in the public forum, serving as a source of information and expertise on key public policy issues, and encouraging job creation and economic development, Westside Economic Alliance plays a leading role in managing this high growth region.

Our Mission:
  • To create an environment conducive to business and personal growth,

  • To serve as a unified voice for members on issues uniquely affecting the Westside,

  • To promote and improve the image and visibility of the Westside as an economic development locale, and

  • To challenge and influence policy decisions and regulations impacting the economic vitality of our communities.
