The first step is to select the correct divisional venue in accordance with LR 3-2(b).

• When filing a Complaint or Petition, the divisional venue is the division of the Court in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred or a substantial part of the property that is the subject of the action is situated.
• When filing a Notice of Removal, the divisional venue is the county where the originating complaint was filed.
• LR 3-2(a) establishes counties and their corresponding divisional codes as follows:
  1. Portland Division (Division Code 3): Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Hood River, Jefferson, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Wasco, Washington, and Yamhill counties.
  2. Pendleton Division (Division Code 2): Baker, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler counties.
