Washington County lies to the west of Portland and encompasses a large swath of land that is roughly rectangular in shape and is bisected by US 26 as it heads west and slightly north to the coast. Washington County is bordered by Yamhill County to the South and Multnomah County to the East. Columbia County lies to the North. A good landmark to keep in mind when separating Multnomah County from Washington County is the Sunset Hills Memorial Park. This is important because a general legal rule is that where an injury occurred determines which Oregon circuit court your case will be heard in.
