DirectionsHistoryEvents

Foster-Powell is a burgeoning neighborhood Southeast of Portland, Oregon. The triangular neighborhood is bounded by three major transit arteries: Powell Boulevard to the north, Foster Road to the south, and 82nd Avenue to the east.

Foster-Powell has gained a reputation as an ethnically diverse neighborhood, with growth in the neighborhood’s Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Hispanic populations.

Currently, Foster Road is experiencing a major face lift which will promote safer traffic speeds, provide more pedestrian crossings, improve sidewalks, and add valuable bike lanes. Undoubtedly, this will increase business traffic and give shoppers additional incentive to support Foster’s great businesses.

For additional information: www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/57866.

Foster has access to frequent service Trimet bus lines: the 14 links Foster to Hawthorne and downtown; the 9 links Powell Blvd. with downtown and Northeast Portland, and the 72 runs on 82nd from Clackamas Town Center to North Killingsworth Avenue. Additionally, the 17 runs down Holgate Avenue to downtown and North Portland.

There are many major transportation arteries that border Foster, giving the neighborhood easy automobile access to the city center: westbound Foster can be accessed via Powell Blvd at 50th Ave. Eastbound Foster can be accessed via 82nd Ave, or the i-205 interstate at exit 17.

Did You Know?Foster Road is named for early settler Philip Foster. Philip was the brother-in-law of Francis Pettygrove – winner of the infamous Portland/Boston coin flip.

Foster is home to the historic 1918 Wikman building. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016, the Wikman building remains an outstanding example of the Colonial Revival style, and was the first civic structure in Oregon to be named after a woman, Finnish immigrant and anti-poverty advocate Lea Wikman. Built as a Carnegie library, today the Wikman building hosts Hallowed Halls recording studio: a fitting purpose since Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger are said to have performed free concerts there in the ‘60s.

Foster Road was an early market road, along with streets like Sandy Boulevard and Cully Boulevard. These roads deviate from the dominant street grid because they follow the historical routes of Native American trails.
