Here are directions to Cascadia Commons:
Cascadia is on SW 94th Avenue. We’ll be meeting in the Common House, which is in the “middle” of the complex. If you’re standing in front of it, it has a patio on its left side, and a small balcony on the 2nd floor. It is just before (or after) the bridge, depending on which “side” of Cascadia you enter. Ask someone if you can't find it. House #: 4377.
There are a couple of ways to get to Cascadia.
We are between Route 8 (Canyon Road) to our north and Route 10 (Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway) to our south. One of the easiest ways to get here is to get onto Hwy 26 west (going toward the beach) and take the exit 71A for Canyon Road/Beaverton/West Slope. Follow Canyon Road until 91st street. 91st has a stoplight, and a small street sign. There is a Ron Tonkin car lot on one side of the road, a deserted Lincoln Mercury on the other, and a GMC lot on the end of the T. Turn left (south) onto 91st and follow it south until SW Meadow Lane on your right (the street right before that is Midea--if you get to Route 10 on 91st, you've gone too far. Turn around at the 7-11 or Shell Station.) From 91st turn right onto SW Meadow Lane. Cascadia Commons will be ahead on your left, just as the road begins to curve. Please park on the street. The common house is the big building in the middle of the "complex".
From the west: If you approach from Route 10 going west, just turn right onto 91st (there's a stoplight and the Shell and 7-11). Take the 2nd left (SW Meadow Lane) and CC will be ahead on your left.
Coming from the west, the easiest routes are to get on TV Highway/Canyon Road/8 or Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway/Farmington Rd/10 and go east until 91st street. Then follow the directions given above from 91st to SW Meadow Lane to SW 94th Ave.
From the East: Some people get to Hwy 26 W by taking I-5 S to I-405 S to 26 (following the signs for Beaverton). You can also get to 26 by going through downtown and taking either SW Jefferson or SW Clay (looking for signs for 26 W).
Mass Transit: Cascadia is also reachable by mass transit (http://trimet.org/) Bus #54 goes from downtown Portland toward the Beaverton Transit Center via Route 10 (Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy). There is a stop at Rt. 10 and 91st street (right in front of the 7-11), and then it’s about a .3 walk to Cascadia. Bus #58 comes from downtown onto Canyon Road. There’s a bus stop close to 91st.
