An active, artistic city along the Rogue River
Though residents may say that it’s the energetic Rogue River or the community-oriented culture that drives the growth of Grants Pass, the city’s downtown welcome sign asserts that “It’s the Climate,” which is sunnier and more temperate than the rainy weather Oregon is widely known for. “I kiddingly tell people that the first month we were here, one of the stories on the front page of the Grants Pass Daily Courier—it used to only be like six pages long—was ‘Deer hit on I-5,’” says Cheryl Claar, a greeter at the Downtown Welcome Center in Grants Pass who moved to the city in 1973. The city has since exploded into one with around 40,000 people, a lively downtown and a full calendar of well-attended events.
Healthcare is Grants Pass's largest industry. Around 12% of the city’s total employment consists of healthcare support positions, and the Asante Three Rivers Medical Center is one of its largest employers. Dutch Bros Coffee, a nationwide franchise, had its humble beginnings as a coffee cart in Grants Pass in 1992, where the publicly traded corporation’s headquarters are today.

Arts thrive during events like Alive at Five
Dozens of casual eateries, antique stores and art organizations make up Grant Pass’s historic downtown, anchored by 6th and 7th streets. Businesses offer extended hours, exclusive sales, live music and complimentary refreshments during First Friday Alive at Five, a monthly art walk. One of the art walk’s most consistent participants is the Grants Pass Museum of Art, which includes a permanent collection curated by its founders and Gallery One, a sales gallery with juried work from local artists.
Every summer, fiberglass bears decorated by local artists venture out to the sidewalks of downtown Grants Pass. A tradition created by the Evergreen Federal Bank in 2003, where 187 unique bears have found homes throughout the city, hibernating at a warehouse deemed the “Evergreen Bear Hotel” during the colder months. The city also hosts Art Along the Rogue, an annual weekend festival in October with live bands and chalky creations from local artists by the river. Grants Pass has a strong performing arts culture as well. The Historic Rogue Theatre was one of the few theaters built during the Great Depression. Though it originally opened as a cinema in 1938, it was reinvented as a live performance venue in 2000, having hosted comedians, cover bands and legendary musicians such as B.B. King.

Rogue Valley wines and world-famous cheese
Downtown Grants Pass also celebrates the surrounding region’s agricultural and viticultural significance. The Grants Pass Growers Market fills the air with scents of ripe, local produce, gourmet herbs and natural, handmade beauty products on Saturday mornings during the spring and summer. Wine enthusiasts can sample varietals from the Rogue Valley during the Downtown Wine Stroll. “The whole valley has exploded in wines,” Claar says. “We have some really good wineries. We also have Rogue Creamery cheese.” The nearby creamery was named a world champion at the 2019-20 World Cheese Awards for its Rogue River Blue. “They even beat France,” she says. “We have some really great businesses and really great people.”

Riverside Park on the Rogue River
One of the most distinguishing aspects of Grants Pass is the Rogue River; its rapids allow for some of the region’s most popular outdoor hobbies, like whitewater rafting and salmon fishing. At Riverside Park, the scenic waterfront serves as a backdrop and also has a disc golf course.
The waterfront park is also home to Boatnik, a 65-year-old festival that spans Memorial Day Weekend. Festivities begin with the Davis Shows Carnival—complete with food and rides—while other highlights include live music, fireworks and whitewater hydroplane boat races on the Rogue River.

High school performing arts center plays a community role
Grants Pass School District 7 earns a B-plus grade from Niche which serves 12 schools and around 5,700 students. Like in the surrounding city, Grants Pass public schools also invest in the arts; the Grants Pass High School Performing Arts Center (PAC) has two venues—one with 730 seats and another with 105—as well as a drama room that can be converted into a black box theater. “They came up with a world-class performing arts center. Half of the events there are for the community, like when the [Rogue Valley Symphony] plays for fundraisers,” says Hyla Lipson, the Executive Director of the Grants Pass Museum of Art. “It’s well-known and well-loved.”
The Three Rivers School District receives a C grade and serves the surrounding county. Rogue Community College’s Grants Pass campus is also nearby, offering more than 80 career and technical education programs.
Grants Pass High School offers Award winning career and technical programs.

Downside of a sunny, dry climate is wildfire
Grants Pass residents enjoy a mild climate—one that is much drier and sunnier than the northern, more populous parts of the state. Because of the dry climate and the surrounding forested areas, the city may be at a higher risk of potential wildfires. The city website provides fire prevention techniques, like a guide on fire-resistant landscaping. Additionally, open fires are prohibited for homeowners outside of nine specified days during the year. Properties along the Rogue River are also potentially at risk of flooding, particularly during periods of heavy rain or snow melt.
Crime rates in Grants Pass are slightly above the national average. In 2022, almost 423 violent crimes were reported per 100,000 residents in the city, compared to roughly 381 reports per 100,000 people nationwide. During the same year, about 4,034 property crimes were reported per 100,000 residents in Grants Pass, compared to 1,954 per 100,000 in the country overall. Property crime in the city increased by around 19% between 2020 and 2023, and violent crime trended upward by about 5%.
Interstate 5 connects to Medford, Eugene and Portland
Interstate 5 passes through northeast Grants Pass and travels south through Medford—about 30 miles away—and into California. In the north, the interstate connects to Eugene, Salem and, ultimately, Portland. The Josephine Community Transit system is easy to follow because each route serves its own cardinal sector. For example, Route 10 serves the northern part of the city, Route 40 the west, and so forth. All four major bus routes intersect at the city center and provide connecting stops.
