Abstract

Although often overlooked by residents of the urban centers that surround it, Hayden Island -- located in the midst of the Columbia River between Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington -- exemplifies the kind of diverse community that defines the metroscape. With a local population of well over 2,000 and a sizable retail shopping district, Hayden Island struggles to be recognized as a destination location known for a distinctive mix of commercial, residential, and natural attributes. Its unique geographical position, however, offers both the possibility of prosperity and the threat of exploitation.
