New residents and visitors are impressed with Tualatin's tree-lined streets and other natural areas. The city has created greenways to protect its stream corridors and provide peaceful places for walking and biking pathways.
The city also focuses heavily on community safety, including everything from traffic enforcement to enhance the safety of the motoring public to educational programs in the schools that target drug abuse.
