Who are we and what do we do?
There are 94 City-recognized neighborhood associations within the City of Portland. Each neighborhood association serves a geographic neighborhood boundary. This creates a framework by which the people of the City may effectively participate in civic affairs and work to improve the livability and character of their neighborhoods and the City. From Skidmore to the Slough, 82nd to 205, with Sandy Blvd slicing through, Sumner is one of Portland’s smallest neighborhoods. At the base of a retired Volcanic Cinder Cone it boasts views of Mt Hood and Mt St Helens, the SAN Lot, Helensview Community Garden, and an active community focused on making Sumner a great place to live.
