Salem is Oregon’s capital and its third-largest city, set on the Willamette River in the heart of one of the most productive farm regions in the Northwest. State government is the largest employer, and legislators, lobbyists and agency officials fill the city when the Legislature meets. Willamette University, founded in 1842 and the oldest university in the West, adds an academic presence, and food processing, healthcare, nurseries and agriculture shape the wider economy, with grass seed, hazelnuts and berries growing in the surrounding fields.
Salem is about an hour south of Portland on I-5, a stretch that often slows to a crawl, and farther still from southern and eastern Oregon. Flying private puts you at McNary Field, a few minutes from the Capitol, so a hearing or agency meeting fits into a day trip from Bend, Medford or Eugene. Leisure travelers use Salem as a base for the Willamette Valley wineries of the Eola-Amity Hills, the waterfalls of Silver Falls State Park and the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, home of Howard Hughes’s giant flying boat.

Things to do in Salem
When to go. Salem is most pleasant from late spring through early fall, when dry, warm weather suits wine tasting and hiking at Silver Falls. Spring brings tulip and iris fields to the surrounding farmland, and the Oregon State Fair runs in late summer, ending on Labor Day. Fall harvest brings crush at the wineries. Winters are mild and rainy, the season when Silver Falls’ waterfalls run strongest.
