Built in 2006, Riverview Restaurant was specifically designed to take advantage of the natural beauty of the region and provide an excep-tional view of Troutdale, Oregon's scenic Sandy River. Adding to its unique elements, all of the milled trees that were removed on the property were incorporated into the building’s structure.
Grand Lodges is 50 minutes from downtown Portland, and is centrally located in the slope side village of Government Camp. Surrounded by over 1 million acres of the Mt. Hood National Forest, this village has blossomed in the last few years, and is now poised to reach its goal of becoming Oregon's only ski-in/ski-out resort location. Included in the plans is an aerial tram that will connect the village to two major ski areas (Timberline and Mt. Hood Skibowl). Conceptual alignments expect the hub of the tram to be located only steps from Grand Lodges.
The Crater Lake Soda brand has grown steadily with distribution in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Southern California. This has been accomplished by our belief that we want to be an active partner in local stores, community events and fund raisers whenever possible
Yoshida Foods International (YFI) expanded its capabilities in 2007 at its 70,000-square-foot facility near the Portland International Airport, creating one of the most extensive co-packing facilities for manu-facturing high-end beverages and specialty sauces on the West Coast.
