Pacific States

Exodus is planted in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, only three miles from the end of the Oregon Trail. Within five hours of driving we can reach majestic Mount Hood, stunning Crater Lake, Multnomah Falls, and any number of spots on the incredible Pacific coast. Nearby are beautiful rolling hills, redwood forests, rivers, high desert, and more. . . and that's just to mention the natural wonders of the area. Also close by are the major cultural hubs of Portland and Seattle.

Although we're not (usually) thrilled about the political climate here, we're still happy to call this home, and we also feel incredibly blessed by some of the amazing historical heritage we've been given. Names like John McLoughlin, Jason Lee, Marcus & Narcissa Whitman and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce are just the start of some of the amazing people who have shaped our area. This section spotlights a small amount of the best and most unique the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
