Gateway Area

Once considered the 'Gateway to the Columbia Gorge', the Gateway Business District stretches from 102nd to 162nd Avenues and covers nearly 25% of East Portland. Designated an Eco District in 2009, Gateway has committed to be one of the most sustainable business districts in the city, planting more than 2,500 trees in the district (2014) and helping customers recycle with unique garbage cans in the public right of way (2015).
