The public housing project Vanport was destroyed at 4:05 P.M. on Sunday
May 30,1948, when a 200-foot section of a dike holding back the Columbia
River collapsed during a flood, killing 15 people. Today West Delta Park,
the Portland International Raceway, Heron Lakes Golf Course and a light
rail station occupy the site. The station has artwork commemorating the
flood.
