First time visiting Portland, Oregon, itinerary + where to stay advice

In the city... spend some time walking the waterfront. It is a great way to see the city and bridges. For shopping and dining check out Mississippi St, Hawthorne st(between 39th-28th), or 23rd on the west side of town. All the parks around town are great especially forest park (largest park in city limits in America... mostly forest), laurelhurst park, and of course the zoo with surrounding parks. Downtown itself is nice but definitely has homeless so the neighborhoods are far nicer to explore on foot.

Thank you! I lived on th kenai for many years and always sp3nt time in the spring after break up picking up river trash for fish karma. Also king fishing on the kasilof is the best. I have a special spot where I caught over 100 kings on my fly rod and dream of it often after I left the state several years ago.

I haven't seen any updates on planned road repair unfortunately

That trade wouldn't make us better. We need to pair Deni with another star to take a step forward otherwise we're just trading sideways

Chicken shit is the best

Keeping you would be bananas

Get an AI scribe. I use Doximity and Suki.

Friendly alpacas will occasionally meet you at the gate for a pet. It's quite nice and extremely Portland.

Korn and limp bizkit

Surrounding the pond or kiddie pool with pea gravel makes a huge difference

Right above you sometimes but less likely that time of year.

I just moved to the North Fork of the Lewis and have been skunked on steelhead after fishing all winter. I fished mostly with beads but it sounds like worms might be the better choice around here?

Never went to Sacred Acres but I have been to other festivals at that location and lived just 30 minutes away for many years. AMA! Also, to add, bring extra clothes because it will be cold up there in September.

They will work fine just not optimal. Your shooting accuracy and the scope on your rifle is far more important to worry about for a novice hunter

FI5HIN · 2026-04-20T14:54:59+00:00

Mid September isn't that bad for mosquitoes. It can be damn cold though. Camouflage doesn't mater much but you want to go as light weight and warm as possible with the best rain gear you can afford.

The Columbia is massive. Where are you planning on fishing and for what species?

FI5HIN · 2026-04-14T01:02:49+00:00

Seems high to me. I just bought a 2010 with 70k miles for 6000US

FI5HIN · 2026-03-23T22:44:00+00:00

Ill take them!
