About Corvallis, Oregon - Excerpt from - http://www.visitcorvallis.com/ : In Corvallis, life is gauged by quality and pace and by art and craft. The media has discovered the beauty of Corvallis lifestyle and it has been reported in papers and books. More inventions pour out Corvallis than most other cities in the nation. Those inventions are dreamt up at coffee shops overlooking the river, on Sunday fishing expeditions with local guides, or hiking in some of the world's most beautiful scenery. The pace here is as gentle as a Corvallis summer breeze, the scenery is lush, food is good and the service warm. Wine flows from local wineries within biking distance and is one of the major topics of conversation, NOT the stock market. A traffic jam could be two inner tubes bumping as they float down the Mary's River or three bicycling PhDs colliding on their way to work. Its beauty and tranquility will make you want to stay, yet nearly all the attractions of Oregon's Wine Country and the coast are within easy driving distance of Corvallis. From mountain biking and hiking on a network of trails to river rafting and golf, the outdoor recreation in and around Corvallis is exceptional. There is a wealth of performing arts and festivals as well as galleries, antique shopping and wineries. Corvallis is home to Oregon State University giving the community a youthful vitality and making it an ideal site for conferences and meetings. It is an amazing community to live in. The USGS is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Selection for this position will be based solely on merit, fitness, and qualifications without regard to race, sex, color, religion, age, marital status, national origin, non-disqualifying handicap conditions, sexual orientation, or any other non-merit factors.
