About Hillsboro
Hillsboro is the county seat of Washington County west of Portland, with a significant concentration of technology and industrial facilities.
Regional considerations
In the Portland area, wet weather for much of the year affects ground conditions, setup surfaces and scheduling. Projects in Vancouver, Washington fall under Washington's rules rather than Oregon's.
