We got a fantastic tour by two super enthusiastic tour guides who went above and beyond. The admissions folks answered all questions gave me a ton of counselor info to bring back to my office. The students got to check out the dorms and an actual room, got to eat in the dining hall and checked out all of the major buildings.... one of the better tours from our trip. If you are looking for a small school environment definitely a place to check out

They have a student body that would fit into the crack of a sidewalk, but still, it's the thought that counts, right? And that's one of the attractions of Linfield, small class sizes and a tight-knit student body. It's a beautiful liberal arts college that has a wonderful education program, but I'm a little nervous it might be too much like high school. Bu the location is prime. I really want to be close to my family, and close to home.

As a frequent visitor to the McMinnville area, I was extremely disappointed and saddened when my poor dog became ill while we were visiting the area, and not a single vet was willing to see her as a walk in emergency situation. The only place that was available to see her was an emergency vet hospital in Salem, which is over 30 minutes away. For all you pet owners who visit this area, please be prepared for this potential eventuality.

Great little indie bookstore. Small but mighty, located in quaint downtown McMinnville. Third…read moreStreet Books is well curated and they have a lot of insightful handwritten staff recommendations placed by selected books, which is something we really appreciate about a good indie. We got a fascinating nonfiction book on the unseen world of plant intelligence for our botany fan, that we may not have otherwise picked up, thanks to a staff recommendation.

I never feel like I am overpaying for a book, which I often do at other smaller book retailers. The value is great, the service is always friendly, and I am always so excited for my next visit.

I highly recommend their Citizen's Police Academy and CERT classes open to the public (with registration). The facility itself is very impressive with all-electronic-keyed doors throughout.

The chief, officers and staff are always at lots of community events and the dedication of their volunteers rivals that of any non-profit in town.

Let's see, where's the Yelp for Monmouth, home of Western Oregon University?…read more Gosh, given I'm a bored retiree, a combined legal/intelligence and military professional, with my three fancy degrees, what could I say about the peeps on Jackson street. First and foremost, I hope and pray to the peacock angel Lucifer (having a temporal personage in Dick Cheney) that we never get a new police station in Monmouth. Great for Highway 99, delightful to have a secure area to seize and hold evidence (cars , vans, even mobile homes like the one(s) where I currently reside in Yolk County. And I can't say I recall meeting any of them lately, and being a collegiate drug dealer in the Eugene Corvallis corridor, it's best to keep up appearances in one group of peeps, and overall send conflicting signals. Don't know anything about the VIlle, and aside from the times Monmouth local peeps bogarted my stash and snatch locally I still has Benevolent Tenancies Towards the fuzz. At the same time, I'm tired of the man keepin' me down! I'm H James Tharp, local Monmouth/Independence oddball sports personality, and I approve of this Yelp review. And you can put that in your pipe and smoke it , by golly.
