The South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce (formerly the St. Helens - Scappoose Chamber of Commerce) has expanded its service area to include the communities of Warren, Columbia City, and Deer Island.
Scappoose is overlooking the Columbia River on US Highway 30, and within 19 miles from the heart of Portland, offering an easily accessible commute to the metropolitan areas. I-84 East and I-5 North can be reached in 20 minutes and 30 minutes to I-5 in Longview, Washington. Over the hills, on Cornelius Pass Road, Hillsboro, and Beaverton are 20 minutes away.
Scappoose was named for a nearby stream, which drains the southern part of the county. The name "Scappoose" is of Native American origin, and is said to mean "gravelly plain". The population was 4,976 at the 2000 census, and now is probably closer to 6,000. Warren is a quiet suburb with a country atmosphere and a picturesque view of the grand Columbia River.
Both sport and commercial fishermen are attracted to Scappoose and Columbia County and can often be seen in the rivers and streams from the highways. The most popular types of fish are salmon, crappe, steelhead, blue gill, trout and sturgeon.
St. Helens is located on the Columbia River 29 miles northwest of Portland. It is a winning combination of recreation and industry, old and new. This deep water seaport is situated on the Columbia River. Views to the east and north show the peaks of Hood, Adams and St. Helens. St. Helens is the county seat for Columbia County and the largest city in the county with a population of approximately 11,000.
