The Willamette District is West Linn’s historic core. It provides a sense of community and place. It offers a unique mix of services, local shopping and great dining. The Historic Willamette Main Street program aims to increase these amenities, increase historical awareness, social and cultural events, and generate a healthier economy. These goals will be attained by implementing the Main Street Four Point Approach™, which has been successful in over 1,800 cities and towns across America. The four points include Organization, Promotion, Design, and Economic Restructuring.
