La Center is a very small town, a bit off of I-5 to the east - depending on where in La Center you pick, you could be 5 minutes to 45 minutes from the freeway. Once on the freeway, it's probably 30-45 minutes to Portland in a very light traffic day. For rush-hour commuting purposes, it's double to triple that. The closest major shopping and medical centers would be the Salmon Creek area of Vancouver, probably 20 minutes or so south.
