Sheridan is a friendly, walkable Willamette Valley town of about 6,200 with a compact historic downtown, river and park access, and lively annual events like Sheridan Days and the Mud Drags—comfortable, community-driven living that’s easy to enjoy between multi‑week contracts.
You’re a short drive from McMinnville (≈13 miles) for wineries, restaurants and a college‑town vibe, and about 56 miles from Portland when you want big‑city museums, flights or nightlife—so Sheridan offers quiet weeks with weekend options nearby.
