Location / Service Area

Located in downtown Newberg just off Highway 99W, Station 20 was originally constructed in 1940 with an extensive remodel in 2012. The 32.5 square miles of Station 20’s service area includes the west portion of Newberg and a large portion of unincorporated Yamhill County west of the city and north to the Chehalem Mountains. From 2020-2024, Station 20 averaged 2,302 calls in its service area.

Why a New Station?

Data analysis of population density, incident types, and traffic confirm Station 20’s location in downtown Newberg and the resources housed there as providing effective response to its immediate response area. This includes half of the District’s Water Rescue Team, as well as management of one of three wildland caches. This equipment is taken when a team is deployed as part of a Yamhill County deployment. The Station 20 rebuild will be seismically sound and will incorporate operational efficiencies for improved response.

Construction and Project Highlights

December 2025

The land-use applications for the temporary sites behind the police station and at Station 21 as well as for Main Station 20 have all been approved. The next step will be to submit permit applications. The project team is in the process of finalizing temporary apparatus bays to purchase. Once permits are issued, site preparation for the three temporary locations could potentially begin sometime in January 2026.

November 2025

The temporary station land-use application for Southwest Blaine and Southwest Second Street has been approved. Land-use applications for the temporary sites behind the police station and at Station 21 are still in review. The land-use application for Main Station 20 is still in review. Permit applications will be submitted following land-use approvals.

July 2025

The project team continues to work through the land-use application process. The team held a community meeting on July 16 to share renderings and project highlights with residents and community members.
