PORTLAND, OREGON
Creatives flock here; with more breweries per capita than any other city in the world and one of the only places outside of France you can take your dog into the pub. Longtime residents might suggest visitors “don’t stay long,” but this emerging city calls to those with big dreams. The incomparable NW landscape screams, “go play outside”, with no rain June through (fingers crossed) September. As we continue to attract Napa Valley winemakers alongside many more from the sophisticated Golden State, it may be debatable that our weather seems to be growing on people. Experience one of the 5 city sections and 95 unique neighborhoods (with chickens), fly to and from the nationally recognized “Best US Airport,” eat at 1 of over 700 city food carts, appreciate the world’s largest independently owned bookstore, and explore on bike (wearing our celebrated outdoor and athletic apparel) – we’ve built a bridge just for you.
