Salem
About 180,000 people.
Salem is the capital of Oregon, which means it is where the state's leaders make important decisions. It sits in a valley famous for growing fruit and flowers.
You can tour the shiny Oregon State Capitol with its gold statue on top, ride the antique carousel by the river, and see thousands of blooming tulips at nearby flower farms in spring.
