Discover Our Neighborhood
Eat, Shop & Enjoybulate *
Located just three miles south of downtown Portland and over the Sellwood Bridge, the Sellwood/Westmoreland neighborhoods are brimming with unique shops, delicious dining and fabulous adventures.
Approximately two miles in length and a mile wide, the teardrop-shaped area is rich in natural and recreational amenities. We have four public parks (Westmoreland, Sellwood, Sellwood Riverfront & Johnson Creek), hiking paths (Oaks Bottom Refuge), a public golf course, a bicycle/pedestrian only thoroughfare (the Springwater Corridor) and the center of Portland's antiques shopping.
With a wide variety of shopping and dining choices, our two historic neighborhoods dating from 1876, make it easy to enjoy everything that Sellwood/Westmoreland has to offer. Come Enjoybulate!

 The Mayor was made aware that the kiosk at Bybee and Milwaukie is complete. The maps are in place and according to our sources it looks "fabulous". This is being watched closely by the city powers that be. News on the street is that other local neighborhoods want a kiosk too. Of course Sellwood Westmoreland has the first one. Go check it out for yourself. We sure will be. Now we hear that the "other mayor" is suppose to come dedicate it soon. Have a Great Day, The Mayor of Sellwood & Westmoreland |

Neighborhood Kiosk
The Kiosk is Up!!!
The Sellwood Westmoreland Business Alliance has constructed an informational kiosk placed permanently at the key intersection of Milwaukie and Bybee on the NW corner.
This three-sided structure contains 3'X3' display cabinets on each side. One will have a newly created map showing our SWBA members. The second panel will display the same map but with neighborhood resources and amenities (parks, walking trais, library, community center, etc...) And the three panel will feature upcoming neighborhood events. The goal is for this kiosk to become a focal point of the business district.
Funding for the kiosk has come from a city grant, a donation from S.M.I.L.E and the SWBA.
For further information you can contact Christian Solsby, the SWBA President at 503.701.2849.
