The Rockwood/East 188th Avenue station is a MAX light rail station in Gresham, Oregon. It serves the Blue Line and is the 22nd stop eastbound on the current Eastside MAX branch. (It was the 20th on the original line in 1986)
The station is at the intersection of East 188th Avenue and Burnside Street, within the Rockwood neighborhood. Until 2010, this station had staggered side platforms; the Westbound platform has temporarily merged with the Eastbound while major renovations to the former take place. The new platform, which will have modern fixtures, improved security features, and 58-foot high artwork, will serve both East and Westbound trains. It opened in May 2011.

“We might as easily reprove the east wind, or the frost, as a political party, whose members, for the most part, could give no account of their position, but stand for the defence of those interests in which they find themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.”
