Corvallis is located in the Willamette Valley between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Its population of 42,000 makes it the 4th largest city in this relatively large and lightly populated state. The metropolitan area of Portland is about 85 miles away, and the scenic Oregon coast and the beautiful Cascade Mountains with opportunities for camping, fishing, and hiking are within easy driving distance. Cultural activities in Corvallis are available through the Corvallis Arts Center, a community orchestra, a civic theater, and many University-sponsored events. Jazz, blues, folk, alternative, and classical music are found at local music venues.
