The Everett Station Lofts is an artist community in Portland, Oregon, United States. In 1989, three adjacent buildings in Portland, Oregon's Old Town Chinatown neighborhood (bordering the Pearl District) were renovated and converted into the lofts, a 62,000-square-foot (5,800 m2) cluster of 47 live/work units combining gallery live spacess and live work loft apartments. Everett Station's spaces feature high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a second-floor courtyard shared by all residents.

Everett Station Lofts supports the local art scene by reserving sixteen storefront units for artists who agree to open their studios to the public during regular business hours and during at least nine "First Thursday" evenings each year.

The lofts offer affordable exhibition space on the edge of the increasingly gentrified Pearl District and has been a key player in the art scene's surge in activity.[1]
