TUALATIN, OR — Community members, local partners, and city leaders gathered on Tuesday, May 19, for the 2026 State of the City event at The Grand Hotel at Bridgeport. The evening featured Mayor Bubenik’s final State of the City address, highlighting the progress made during his time in office and recognizing the collaborative efforts that continue to strengthen the community.

Mayor Bubenik was elected to the City Council in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. He was then elected mayor in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. In his speech, Mayor Bubenik reflected on key projects, including Tualatin Moving Forward, the $20 million transportation bond that has helped reduce congestion, improve safety, and make it easier for kids to get to school.

He also spoke about community investments such as the expansion of Bridgeport Village and the development of Nyberg Woods and Nyberg Rivers, as well as partnerships with organizations like Greater Portland Inc., Tualatin Riverkeepers, and Tualatin Valley Water District, among many others that have helped shape Tualatin into a vibrant and welcoming place to live, work, and connect.

“Serving the Tualatin community has been one of the greatest honors of my life,” said Mayor Frank Bubenik. “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and grateful for the partnerships, dedication, and community spirit that continue to move Tualatin forward.”

The City of Tualatin thanks everyone who attended and helped make the 2026 State of the City event a memorable evening. A special thank you to our State of the City sponsors: Comcast, NW Natural, Perlo Construction, PGE, and Republic Services.
