What do you love about Beaverton?

I've lived here since 1999 and have explored most of Beaverton by foot and car. I've run most of the trails and hiked the wooded areas, and sought the most amazing vantages for sunsets and sunrises alike.

I have my own reasons for calling this town "home" -- like seeing the aurora over Commonwealth Lake last September in the attached photo -- but what are yours?

Share them here. Would love to hear your insights!
