Parks, Recreation, and Greenspace in Vancouver, Washington

Someone moving to Vancouver should know the weather is very rainy for most of the year. We do get hot summers and bouts of warm weather, but the majority of our weather is cold and rainy. We are on the Columbia River, north of Portland, Oregon. Living in Vancouver allows you to feel like you are part of a bigger city, while still living in a more suburban area. Vancouver is also very close to many outdoor recreation areas with hiking, camping, fishing, and other activities.
You’re close to Portland, there’s a lot of hiking and adventurous things to do. seattle is also only a few hours away-and there’s tons of sites to see and look at, along it’s a bunch of places to go, my favorite being pikes place. Also, be prepared for rain 90% of the year.
If someone were moving to Vancouver, I should like them to know it is an excellent city. It is a very short drive from the city of Portland, and closely located to Mt. St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, and various other outdoor attractions. Vancouver itself is also very nice. A reasonably sized downtown is home to many nice restaurants and shopping opportunities, there is a mall, and there is enough space that one can live comfortably and affordably.
