In which Oregon city is Nike, Inc.'s world headquarters located?

The story behind the answer

Nike, Inc.'s world headquarters is located in Beaverton, Oregon.

Nike's campus, known as the Nike World Headquarters, occupies a large site in the Portland metropolitan area. The company began as Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964, founded by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman, before adopting the Nike name in 1971.

Beaverton is sometimes replaced in answers by Portland because the headquarters is part of the Portland urban area and Portland is the region's best-known city. Administratively, however, the campus is in Beaverton, a separate city west of Portland.

Nike's headquarters campus includes offices, athletic facilities and buildings named for notable athletes and coaches. The company's famous swoosh logo was created by graphic-design student Carolyn Davidson in 1971, before Nike became a global sportswear brand.
