Location

Orenco is a light rail station in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States, served by TriMet as part of MAX Light Rail. It is the seventh station eastbound on the Blue Line and the third station eastbound on the Red Line, situated between the Quatama and Hawthorn Farm stations. The island platform station serves the Orenco Station neighborhood, which is considered a model for smart growth and transit-oriented development. It includes a 125-space park and ride, a 52-space bike and ride, and connections with TriMet bus route 47–Main/Evergreen and Ride Connection's North Hillsboro Link.

An Oregon Electric Railway (OE) depot of the same name served the area in the early 20th century. The TriMet station was built as part of the Westside MAX project, which extended MAX from downtown Portland to Hillsboro in 1998. In 2017, TriMet simplified the station's name from "Orenco/NW 231st Ave" after the city renamed Northwest 231st Avenue to Northeast Century Boulevard.
