Welcome To Portland

Thanks to the boom of The Gold Rush and the frequent dependency on trade by water Portland became a well-established and prosperous city by the 1870s and through its rapid growth over the decades since, has become the largest metropolis in Oregon. With its big-city excitement and a charming small-town aesthetic Portland is known for being “the City of Roses” as well as a favorite destination of the West Coast.

Located in a magnificent setting between the sparkling waters of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers you’ll be greeted with the feel of relaxed respectability and an urban lifestyle that is unsurpassed for its livability where you’ll experience the laid-back atmosphere and splendor of the great Northwest. The mountainous backdrop, combined with the city’s numerous urban parks and Eco-friendly ambition make it quite obvious Portland was built with walking in mind.

From the public art spread across its short blocks, the old fashioned statuary bringing a well rounded aesthetic to the area, as well as the fountains, bridges, and parks Portland has become a nature lovers’ paradise. Limitless opportunities for leisure and contemplation for the casual stroller, as well as over 70 trails for the more adventurous explorer, await its citizens and visitors alike.

Here in Portland, you can find out who you are, in whatever interpretation that means for you. It’s a place for the outcasts, the weirdos, the ones who break out from the status quo and march to the beat of their own drum. It’s a place to inspire friendship, to show love, to give kindness, and come together as a community to celebrate a unique bond of the Portlandian spirit all around us.
