About Sherwood

Sherwood is a community of approximately 20,450 residents in Washington County, OR. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

Rapid growth since the early 2000s has produced large planned subdivisions with parks and trail systems on the town perimeter.

Newer two-story single-family homes in master-planned communities with some older ranch-style properties in the Old Town core.

Local Considerations

  • Agricultural runoff from surrounding farmland occasionally impacts water quality in local creeks during heavy rains.
  • Fast population growth has strained road infrastructure, increasing emergency response times on congested two-lane routes.

Water System

City of Sherwood operates its own wells supplemented by Willamette River water through the Wilsonville-Sherwood pipeline.

Emergency Access

Highway 99W is the main arterial but the town lacks direct freeway access, adding 5–10 minutes to regional hospital runs.
