Moving in Beaverton: FAQ.
Is Beaverton essentially a Nike company town?
Heavily influenced by Nike but not solely. Nike is the dominant employer and cultural presence — many Beaverton residents have Nike connections either directly or through extended networks. But Columbia Sportswear, other tech employers, and regional healthcare also drive the economy. The city has become one of the most diverse in Oregon as Nike's global hiring has attracted professionals from around the world.
