銆€銆€Stroll through the farmers鈥� market and you will hear a plethora of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you鈥檒l see loncheras 鈥� taco trucks 鈥� on street corners and hear Spanish bandamusic. On the city鈥檚 northern edge, you can sample Indian chaat.

銆€銆€Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon鈥檚 fastest growing immigrant population. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon 鈥� with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Oregon鈥檚 largest city.

銆€銆€Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou.

銆€銆€Beaverton鈥檚 wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton鈥檚 population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, Asians comprise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of Beaverton鈥檚 population.

銆€銆€Mayor Denny Doyle says that many in Beaverton view the immigrants who are rapidly reshaping Beaverton as a source of enrichment. 鈥淐itizens here especially in the arts and culture community think it鈥檚 fantastic that we have all these different possibilities here,鈥� he says.

銆€銆€Gloria Vargas, 50, a Salvadoran immigrant, owns a popular small restaurant, Gloria鈥檚 Secret Caf茅, in downtown Beaverton. 鈥淚 love Beaverton,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 feel like I belong here.鈥� Her mother moved her to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1973, and she moved Oregon in 1979. She landed a coveted vendor spot in the Beaverton Farmers Market in 1999. Now in addition to running her restaurant, she has one of the most popular stalls there, selling up to 200 Salvadoran tamales 鈥� wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks 鈥� each Saturday. 鈥淥nce they buy my food, they always come back for more,鈥� she says.

銆€銆€鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty relaxed here,鈥� says Taj Suleyman, 28, born and raised in Lebanon, and recently transplanted to Beaverton to start a job working with immigrants from many countries. Half Middle Eastern and half African, Suleyman says he was attracted to Beaverton specifically because of its diversity. He serves on a city-sponsored Diversity Task Force set up by Mayor Doyle.

銆€銆€Mohammed Haque, originally from Bangladesh, finds Beaverton very welcoming. His daughter, he boasts, was even elected her high school鈥檚 homecoming queen.

銆€銆€South Asians such as Haque have transformed Bethany, a neighborhood north of Beaverton. It is dense with immigrants from Gujarat, a state in India and primary source for the first wave of Beaverton鈥檚 South Asian immigrants.

銆€銆€The first wave of South Asian immigrants to Beaverton, mostly Gujaratis from India, arrived in the 1960s and 1970s, when the motel and hotel industry was booming. Many bought small hotels and originally settled in Portland, and then relocated to Beaverton for better schools and bigger yards. The second wave of South Asians arrived during the high-tech boom of the 1980s, when the software industry, and Intel and Tektronix, really took off.

銆€銆€Many of Beaverton鈥檚 Asians converge at Uwajimaya, a 30,000-square-foot supermarket near central Beaverton. Bernie Capell, former special events coordinator at Uwajimaya, says that many come to shop for fresh produce every day. But the biggest group of shoppers at Uwajimaya, she adds, are Caucasians.

銆€銆€Beaverton鈥檚 Asian population boasts a sizable number of Koreans, who began to arrive in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

銆€銆€According to Ted Chung, a native of Korea and Beaverton resident since 1978, three things stand out about his fellow Korean immigrants. Upon moving to Beaverton, they join a Christian church 鈥� often Methodist or Presbyterian 鈥� as a gathering place; they push their children to excel in school; and they shun the spotlight.

銆€銆€Chung says he and his fellow Korean 茅migr茅s work hard as small businessmen 鈥� owning groceries, dry cleaners, laundromats, delis, and sushi shops 鈥� and are frugal so they can send their children to a leading university.

銆€銆€Most recently, immigrants from Central and South America, as well as refugees from Iraq and Somalia, have joined the Beaverton community.

銆€銆€Many Beaverton organizations help immigrants.

銆€銆€The Beaverton Resource Center helps all immigrants with health and literacy services. The Somali Family Education Center helps Somalis and other African refugees to get settled. And one Beaverton elementary school even came up with the idea of a 鈥渟ew in鈥濃€� parents of students sewing together 鈥� to welcome Somali Bantu parents and bridge major cultural differences.

銆€銆€Historically white churches, such as Beaverton First United Methodist Church, offer immigration ministries. And Beaverton churches of all denominations host Korean- or Spanish-language services.

銆€銆€Beaverton鈥檚 Mayor Doyle wants refugee and immigrant leaders to participate in the town鈥檚 decision-making. He set up a Diversity Task Force whose mission is 鈥渢o build inclusive and equitable communities in the City of Beaverton.鈥� The task force is working to create a multicultural community center for Beavertonians of all backgrounds.

銆€銆€The resources and warm welcome that Beaverton gives immigrants are reciprocated in the affection that many express for their new home.

銆€銆€Kaltun Caynan, 40, a Somali woman who came to Beaverton in 2001 fleeing civil war, is an outreach coordinator for the Somali Family Education Center. 鈥淚 like it so much,鈥� she said, cheerfully. 鈥淣obody discriminate[s against] me, everybody smiling at me.鈥�
