About Willamina

Tucked along the South Yamhill River where Polk and Yamhill counties meet, Willamina is a quiet timber town of about 2,200 residents. Built on a deep-rooted history of logging, farming, and brickmaking, the community has held onto its unpretentious, small-town character. Surrounded by forested hills and rolling farmland, it offers an easygoing rural lifestyle right at the edge of the Oregon Coast Range.

Willamina Oregon downtown Main Street

Families are served by a close-knit local school district, and daily life often revolves around youth sports, river recreation, and outdoor exploring. While the town covers the basics, residents take a quick drive to Sheridan, McMinnville, or Salem for major shopping trips, healthcare, and dining, with Spirit Mountain Casino providing nearby jobs and entertainment. It is a practical landing spot for anyone who wants affordable countryside living within an hour of both the Willamette Valley and the Pacific coast.
