ABOUT PENDLETON, OREGON
Pendleton has a regional airport with daily commercial flights to Portland and Denver, which changes the calculation for providers concerned about connectivity. The Walla Walla wine region is 45 minutes away. The Tri-Cities of Washington, with Costco, Columbia Center Mall, and full urban amenities, are an easy hour's drive. Portland is three hours west; Boise four hours southeast.
Within Pendleton itself, the community punches well above its population of 17,000. There is an active arts scene, museums, independent restaurants, brew pubs, golf courses, and the Wildhorse Resort and Casino. For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding landscape offers mountain biking, camping, fishing, and equestrian trails. The Pendleton Round-Up is one of the most recognized rodeo events in the country and reflects the town's deep Western character.
