About Vancouver, WA:
In Vancouver, you will get to enjoy the excitement of a
major metropolitan area with the small-town charm and abundant recreational
opportunities. You will cherish seasonal events like the
October Dine in the Couve foodie experience, the winter Christmas
Ships Afloat the Columbia River, the spring farmer’s markets and
Craft Beer & Wine Festivals, and the summertime movies in the
park and concerts at sunset. Vancouver is less than 20 minutes from
downtown Portland, OR, where you'll find a wealth of cultural and sporting
events. This city is nestled right between the Columbia River and the
Pacific Northwest's world-famous Cascade Mountains, both of which are a
paradise for outdoor lovers. Our favorite pastimes include camping,
hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, climbing, biking, and all other forms of
general exploring you can dream up; there really is no “off-season” in
Vancouver!
If this all sounds like your next adventure, you are the
veterinarian we are looking for!
