Five Reasons to go Back-to-School Shopping in the Tualatin Valley
Free and Easy Parking
With ample parking that doesn’t require valet, quarters or even a parallel maneuver, keep your blood pressure in check while tackling that shopping list. The large parking structures are so big because, well, the stores they serve are big, too.
Tax-Free Clothing and School Supplies
Oregon does not impose a sales tax on goods and services. While you can take advantage of tax-free shopping anywhere in the state, the shopping centers of the Tualatin Valley are a pleasing mix of classic favorites and new-to-you stores that make a trip here worthwhile. For school supplies, check out Tualatin Valley’s newest store, Daiso, a Japanese-based retailer “dollar store” with a classic Japanese design aesthetic. The Hillsboro location is the first (and only) in Oregon.
The Biggest, Best and Newest Stores

Washington Square has a diverse selection of more than 170 popular shops and boasts the largest Nordstrom in Oregon for all your fashion needs. Bridgeport Village, which recently completed a renovation, is on trend with the “it” items from Anthropologie, Madewell and Free People, to name a few. The Streets of Tanasbourne’s REI store is a beacon of light for looking good on the track, field or court. And we’re just skimming the surface of offerings here, people!
