Portland Drivers are Polite
Of course one should always use caution when crossing a street, but here in Portland, we are extra polite. Drivers will stop for pedestrians almost anywhere!
What to pack
It rains here!
A light raincoat is a good idea most times of the year. Be sure to check the weather before you come!
