Woodburn Premium Outlets

Woodburn Premium Outlets is a 389,174 square foot outlet center in Woodburn, Oregon, operated by Simon Property Group through its Premium Outlets portfolio. Located directly off Interstate 5 between Portland and Salem, the property functions as the primary outlet destination for the Pacific Northwest and draws a regional shopper base that extends well beyond the immediate trade area.

Oregon’s 0% sales tax is the defining commercial advantage of this location. For shoppers traveling from Washington state, where the sales tax runs between 8.5% and 10.4% depending on jurisdiction, the tax differential combined with outlet pricing creates effective savings that are among the highest achievable at any retail destination on the West Coast. Canadian visitors and international travelers transiting I-5 add a further consumer layer that few outlet properties in the region can replicate. Nike’s global headquarters in Beaverton, approximately 30 miles north, has built a strong regional affinity for the Nike Factory Store here, which ranks among the highest-trafficked Nike factory locations in the country. The brand concentration in athletic and outdoor categories reflects Oregon’s overall retail identity: Nike, Adidas, The North Face, Columbia, and Lululemon together establish the core traffic drivers.

The balance of the tenant mix covers accessible luxury fashion and footwear with Coach, Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Converse, alongside a full complement of footwear brands. The property benefits from Simon’s scale on leasing, infrastructure investment, and the Premium Outlets loyalty program, which provides an additional discount layer for registered shoppers. The center draws over 2,200 parking spaces and EV charging infrastructure that supports the road-trip shopper traveling the I-5 corridor.

For brands in athletic, outdoor, accessible luxury, and contemporary fashion, Woodburn Premium Outlets is the primary outlet entry point for the Pacific Northwest market. The combination of I-5 access, Oregon’s tax-free status, and an established regional draw from both Portland and Seattle metro areas makes this one of the more defensible outlet positions on the West Coast. Performance here is driven by visit frequency from regional residents and destination traffic from tax-motivated shoppers, creating a dual demand structure that supports consistent throughput across all seasons.
