Sherwood is located on Highway 99W, between Tigard and Newberg, an important transportation triangle in south Washington County. The location also makes it ideal for professionals who commute to work in Portland and return to live in the quiet of the Sherwood community. It has grown from 3000 people in 1990 to 14,000 today, but all the growth has not squelched the small-town atmosphere of the historic Old Town, and the camaraderie that is evident at community gatherings.
The old and the new elements of the city create a unique harmony while the protected wetlands of the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and the rolling hills of fertile farmland surround Sherwood's bustling roads and city center. The quiet of Old Town's antique stores and tea shops are only minutes away from new commercial businesses such as the ACT III 10-screeen theater, the YMCA, and the Ice Hus, a double-sheet ice rink. Sherwood is one of Oregon's most livable cities, providing attractions for all. It is a family-oriented community not far from the commercial bustle of Portland.
