The iconic California burger chain In-N-Out is edging closer to Portland. This week a second restaurant in Washington state opens, located just a 25-minute drive from the city center. Previously the nearest locations were in Ridgefield and Keizer, and the trip to them took at least an hour round trip. Now Portland residents will be able to satisfy evening cravings for the chain’s famous Double-Doubles, milkshakes and fries more quickly.
The new spot, built on the site of a former Rite Aid pharmacy, is located at 13511 Southeast Third Way in Vancouver. The restaurant seats 84 inside, features a covered patio for 28 guests, and has a single drive-thru lane. It will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., and until 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The project has been in the works for more than two years: the company filed preliminary paperwork with the city back in 2024.
The Vancouver opening is only part of In-N-Out’s broader plans to expand across the Portland region. Construction is already underway at Tanasbourne Town Centre in Hillsboro, and sites in Beaverton, Gresham and near Portland International Airport are under consideration. Fans of the burger chain are eagerly awaiting a location inside Portland itself, and at the current pace that could happen within the next few years.
