Salmon Creek

North Vancouver • Clark County, WA

Salmon Creek is a busy, convenient suburban area in north Vancouver clustered around the I-5 and I-205 junction. It has grown into a true regional hub, anchored by the WSU Vancouver campus and Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, which opened in 2005 as the first new hospital built in Washington in nearly two decades.

For buyers, Salmon Creek hits a lot of practical notes: abundant shopping and dining, top-notch medical care, major employers nearby, and freeway access in every direction. Families love that the Salmon Creek Regional Park and Klineline Pond — with its summer swim beach and greenway trail — sit right in the middle of it all.

The honest downside is traffic. The I-5 interchanges here are some of the busiest in the county at rush hour, and the area has a sprawling, car-dependent feel. Prices vary quite a bit from one pocket to the next, so it pays to know the streets.
