Welcome to the New Columbia City Website

Columbia City is located in northwestern Oregon on the banks of the Columbia River approximately 32 miles north of the City of Portland on Highway 30, miles north of the City of St. Helens and 61 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.

The city is dominated, ecologically and visually, by the Columbia River, which is nearly a mile wide here. Fir-clad slopes provide a backdrop west of town. Across the river are the foothills of the Cascade Range. Five snow-covered peaks are visible from the city: Mount St. Helens, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Jefferson.

Our Vision Statement:

Columbia City is an attractive, peaceful, quiet, friendly community in which residents feel safe, interact closely with each other, and communicate with a responsive City government and staff. It is primarily a residential community, but also contains a variety of easily accessible commercial and recreational opportunities. The City is connected to the Columbia River, to which all residents and visitors enjoy easy access. The two parts of the City on both sides of the highway are connected,

but each side retains its distinct character. People can walk safely on the streets and access the River, parks, nature and other amenities. The City also is home to a clean, unobtrusive industrial area that provides jobs to the region and supports City services. Residents enjoy quality municipal services at a fair price.

Our Mission Statement:

 

The City of Columbia City encourages community involvement and is committed to:

• Developing and ensuring the highest possible quality of life for our residents, businesses and visitors.

   

• Providing a safe, secure and healthy community environment.

   

• Providing an efficient and effective government which is open and responsive to the needs of the community and works for the benefit of all.
