CITY OF KEIZER
The City of Keizer is located in the
beautiful Willamette Valley with
Oregon’s largest city, Portland, to the
north, and the state capitol, Salem,
bordering Keizer to the south.
The Oregon coastline and mountains
are located just west of Keizer within a
one-hour drive. Our weather is
moderate throughout the year with
summer temperatures typically in the
70’s and 80’s.
Keizer’s population is 39,561 and it is
the 15th largest city in Oregon. In spite
of its growth since the 1990’s, Keizer
continues to preserve its small-town
pride by supporting many volunteer
organizations and community-wide
events.
Some notable events include
KeizerFEST and parade, the Miracle of
Christmas lighting display, the Holiday
Lights parade, concerts and events at
the Keizer Rotary Amphitheater, and
the Keizer Art Walk.
Keizer is also the home of the four
professional baseball teams in the
Mavericks Independent Baseball
League.
The City of Keizer has 103 regular
status employees, a varying number of
temporary employees and assistance
from dedicated community volunteers.
This is truly a great place to work! We
strive to create a relaxed, friendly, and
supportive environment. We are very
proud of the caliber of our employees
