Discover The Dalles: Where History Meets the Columbia River
Standing proudly in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge, The Dalles is a vibrant community of approximately 16,000 residents in ZIP code 97058. Located 75 miles east of Portland, this historic city serves as the largest urban center along the Columbia River outside the Portland Metropolitan Area. The Dalles boasts a unique landscape where the lush greenery of Western Oregon transitions into the high desert of Eastern Oregon, creating a diverse climate that receives only about 14 inches of precipitation annually while offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and river gorge.
With a rich history dating back over 10,000 years as a Native American trading center, The Dalles later became known as the end of the Oregon Trail and has preserved much of its pioneer heritage. Today, the city balances its historical significance with modern industries including technology, agriculture, and healthcare while serving as a gateway to the natural wonders of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.
The Dalles’s Unique Storage Needs
Residents of The Dalles face distinctive storage challenges shaped by the area’s climate, housing market, and economic landscape. The city’s location in a high desert region means homeowners often contend with seasonal temperature extremes that can reach up to 118 degrees in summer, creating a need for climate-protected storage for temperature-sensitive belongings. Meanwhile, the area’s susceptibility to wildfire risk means many residents require secure off-site storage for valuable possessions during evacuation periods.
The Dalles housing market has seen fluctuations in recent years, with median home prices around $380,000 as of early 2025, representing a slight decrease from previous years. This shifting market has led to increased renovation activity and downsizing among homeowners, particularly in neighborhoods like Columbia View Heights and Mill Creek. Additionally, the presence of major employers like Mid-Columbia Medical Center, School District #21, Oregon Cherry Growers, and Google’s expanding data center operations has created unique storage requirements for businesses needing flexible solutions for inventory, equipment, and seasonal products.
