Albany Oregon area of Interstate-5 on northwestplaces.com

Our Central Western Oregon sub-region is made up of the southern end of the Willamette River Valley. This valley lies west of the Cascade Mountains and east of the Coastal Mountain Range. The coastal mountains keep the fog and low clouds on the coast giving the Willamette Valley a warmer climate than the coast. The valley is west of the Cascade Mountains which cause moisture to fall before going over the mountains so the Willamette Valley is one of the best farming areas in the world.

Interstate-5 goes down the Willamette Valley and the cities of Salem, Albany, Corvallis, and Eugene are in this area. Salem is the State Capital.

The Albany / Corvallis area is an interesting tourist area worth some of your time. With Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, and Halsey, Oregon in this area the visitor could easily spend a week in this area and not see all the interesting things to see and do. The Oregon Coast lies about 80 miles West and the Willamette National Forest lies 35 miles to the East.
