City of West Linn is a mid-sized municipal government in Oregon that operates as a full-service city. It functions under a council/manager form of government, where the Mayor and four Councilors set policy and hire the City Manager, who acts as the chief executive officer. Incorporated in 1913, the city serves just over 25,000 residents and sits roughly 20 miles from Portland, combining a hometown atmosphere with access to regional amenities and natural surroundings. The city's governance supports services for residents, civic organizations, and businesses through local government structures. In 2024, West Linn launched West Linn Connect, a mobile app intended to help officials engage with the community and deliver services more effectively. This reflects an ongoing effort to connect government operations with the community while preserving the city's emphasis on quality of life and accessibility.
