Oregon Blue Zones Tigard- Tualatin Demonstration Community

In support of Oregon's Healthiest State initiative, Blue Zones Project encourages changes to our community that lead to healthier options. By bringing residents, worksites, schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and government together, Blue Zones Project will inspire a community movement that has the power to improve the quality of life for everyone.

In August 2016, the Cities of Tigard and Tualatin submitted an application to be a joint demonstration community, on a joint mission to improve the health and well-being of our cities. In mid-September, it was announced that our proposal was selected  as a finalist and will be advancing to the next phase of the process. This includes a site visit to our community to further expand upon the impact that the Blue Zones initiative would have on making permanent changes to environments, policies, and social networks to make healthy choices easier for everyone.
