What Our Customers Say
Does Your West Linn Panel Have Room Left?
The 1980s were the peak decade — hillside subdivisions with panels sized before heat pumps and EV chargers, and a historic Willamette district with pre-1940 homes.
West Linn has the highest owner-occupancy of the 15 cities we serve outside Portland, 82.7%. Of its 10,395 homes, nearly half were built between 1960 and 1989, and the 1980s alone are 23.7%, the peak decade. About 4,240 homes date from the 1970s and 80s hillside subdivisions, with panels sized before heat pumps and EV chargers; the 1965–73 slice falls in the aluminum branch wiring years. I-205 runs through the city.
The other West Linn is the historic Willamette district, about 540 homes, 5.2%, from before 1940, where knob-and-tube is still possible. The remaining 44.3% of homes were built in 1990 or later.
