BLM Oregon/Washington State Office to Relocate
Portland, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Oregon and Washington is relocating the
state office. The BLM office move is scheduled to occur between Friday, Aug. 2 and Monday, Aug. 5 with
the new office opening Tuesday, Aug. 6.
The new BLM Oregon/Washington State Office address will be in the Edith Green–Wendell Wyatt
(EGWW) Federal Building at 1220 SW. 3rd Avenue, Portland, OR 97204. All other contact information
such as the telephone number, (503) 808-6001, as well as the post office address, P.O. Box 2965, Portland,
OR 97208, will remain the same.
Because of the relocation of the Oregon/Washington State Office, certain records will be unavailable for
inspection and the Public Room will be closed. Records and services associated with the Public Claim
Records and Computerized Reports, GLO Survey Records, Patent Records, Right-of-Way Records, and
Map Sales will be unavailable for approximately one week during the records transfer to the new location.
While the BLM offices in Portland will be closed during the relocation from Aug. 2-5, all District offices
will remain open during normal business hours and the BLM Oregon/Washington website at
www.blm.gov/or, will still be operational.
- BLM The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System
of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface
mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the public
lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2012, activities on public lands generated $4.6 billion in
revenue, much of which was shared with the States where the activities occurred. In addition, public lands contributed more than $112
billion to the U.S. economy and helped support more than 500,000 jobs.
