Hahaha it's not Wilamet, like psntmcgee4 said, it's Will-lam-it with an emphasize on the second syllable. But hey, you're not from Oregon so no worries :)

@edia05 SEASIDE!!! THE SEA LION CAVES!! WHALE WATCHING!! SO MUCH MORE THEN THAT MOUNT. HOOD CRATER LAKE AND SO MUCH MORE THIS VIDEO DIDNT REALLY DO OREGIN JUSTICE
Wow, this is sort of a "top ten touristy things to do in Portland if you don't know what else to do"- Powell's is up there, the microbrew thing is right, but what about the numerous monthly art walks? The world's smallest park? The world's largest park inside a city? Voodoo Donuts? Naked Bike rides? Santacon?
I'm looking at working in portland and SOO want any of those float homes and I think chris missed out that portland is really famous for boating and fishing I've never seen so many boats in one area
okay geeks this list sucks here is your NEW top ten: 1. Visit Union Jacks Strip club. loosen your shirt buttons. have a drink. RELAX. 2. Take a hike in Forest Park. 3. Rent a bike. Use it and be adventurous! 4. Go to Last Thursday Art event on Alberta Street. 5. Go to First Thursday Art event in the Pearl. 6. Go to the one of MANY Farmers markets 7. Go out to experience live music! day or night. 8. Swim at Salt Pool; Kennedy school 9. PowellsBook 10dwntwn walking tours! learn history!
If it is for geeks really... Ground Kontrol is where to go.. a bar arcade in the dountown area. Pinball machines all over the second floor (with drink holders on the side) and old school arcade games on the ground floor.
@RainboBright503 not if you know where to go, i feel san friskie is pretty cheap but not as cheap as portland but if you look hard enough there is a lot of cheap stuff in the city! :P
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Everybody is soooo mad. You guys can say whatever you want, but the fact is that Portland is full of lazy white junky trash. All the homeless in downtown Portland are white trash, not even one latino or asian. HAHAHAHAHAHAH Portland is white trash paradise. White guys dreaming of working in a coffee place or a "bookstore" PUAF....... Good luck trashy white americans.
@juancamex at least it's all whites! i'd so much rather live in a patriotic community then one thats infested with illegal Mexican emigrants! plus we have the blazers! best team in the NBA i don't care what stupid laker fans say.
@BlakeDeWeese1 I can understand why you prefer to live among your people. But whether you like it or not ILLEGAL MEXICANS are going to be here for the rest of the history. And let me tell you something, probably you don't know, USA is made of immigrants and the only real american people are the American Indians, and i don't really think you are one of them. Good luck junkie porlander.
I want to rip my arm off just so I have something to throw at this guy. But a good list. Disappointed Forest Park wasnt mentioned, but a good list none the less. Also, if McMinnville counts as Portland, Mt Hood Recreation Area should be mentioned as well (they are about the same about of miles away from Portland itself)
Top ten things to do in Portland - Seattle is north of the Portland area...in no particular order... 1. My Father's Place 2. Pirate's Cove 3. Mount Tabor 4. Powell's 5. Sisters of the Road 6. Hawthorne/Alberta/Mississipi-Albina/NW 23rd 7. Forest Park 8. Washington Park 9. Nicholas Restaurant 10. 82nd street

never heard of the gardens, the zoo is awesome though! Market is awesome too, lmao never heard of the book store. said the river wrong!!! and thats messed up no one just goes down the river lol. And I hate beer. The square is also awesome. Museum is not that great. Omg I have been there many times. Mcminnville is were my mom lives its awesome!!!! I took science camp at the aviation museum!!!! ahaha yay me
@ThingsThatReallySuck Fuck you. Portland is the shit. I've been here my whole life. Compare it to any other city. We are the most open-minded city in America. Grow up and stop hatin on something because you didn't have a good experience.
Haha I thought everyone knew how to pronounce Willamette. Why must you make a big deal if Portland has a couple of gardens. So what? OMSI is pretty amazing, you have to actually go to know so!
here are my top 10 things to do 1smoke a blunt 2blaze it 3eat some space cakes 4bong hit 5smoke purple cush 6grow bud plants in the forest 7 make some bud cookes 8lode the cronic 9 smoke some hash 10 sleep good at night
Here's my top 12 1.Washington park garden rose. 2.Voodoo Doughnuts. 3.Columbia River Gorge/all the little falls and multnomah falls too. 4The kennedy school/mcmenamins 5.Powells books 6.Lincoln city/chinook winds Casino Resort. 7.Portland trail blazers game. 8.Portland city grill. 9.Oaks amusement park. 10.The pearl or NW 23 st. 11.Air Museum. 12.Hawthorne st/ District...30th st to 50th
Them 2 gardens are stupid and worthless. Only old people go there. Go try all the cofees at Stumptown instead. I havent gone to the doughtnut shop yet, (vodoo), cause they only take cash. I always use my credit card. Some day when I get cash I'll try them. Been here a while and love it. Just dont move here to be accepted, cause you will never be! But again, who cares. I still love it here.
im moving 2 portland pretty soon or somewere around ther! im so exited.... its so big 4 me cuz iv always lived in really small towns were i get to kno it really quick..ooo its gonna b scarry!;)
What about Backspace and Voodoo Doughnuts (the magic is in the hole) and Rocky Horror at the Clinton Street theatre and Escape (if you're under a certain age) and the movies in the park and on the roof and all that? All the stuff he's talking about you could find in a travel guide :P
That was like the gayest list of things to do in portland except for Saturday Market and Powell's. The willamete river is only tight at night when you can see all the lights reflecting off the water all around you! The trees are the best thing about P town and the weed.
How can a nerd like this not mention "Ground Kontrol" the famous Barcade easily the #1 thing to do.. OH yea, and it's only a few blocks away from voodoo doughnuts!!!
Why are you people responding with positive comments about Portland? Do you really want more people like juancamex taking up space, even for a short time? Instead, get the word out that Portland is: the most vile, gloomy, boring, and most ugly city in the entire free world, a city where it rains 20 inches 365 days a year, no one ever gets laid, everyone is unemployed, and there are rats the size of small pigs lurking at every street corner.........
@MrRuigni Yes, I saw it but it still does leave some doubt that Portland might not be the vilest place on earth, when in fact, 100% fact, Portland is the most terrible, soul robbing city in the world. Nobody in their right mind should ever even visit the area, none of the area, and please do not look out your airplane windows when flying over the area....it all sucks. The mountains, and everything else, you may see in other Portland videos is all digital fabrication. Please believe me.
@famousPhotog I think you are wrong though as far as a soul robbing place. Dude if you want soul robbing, come to South FL in the suburbs of Tampa. You will see a far worse place than Portland could EVER be with new subdivisions, no individuality. I am still moving to Portland regardless of what is said by you.
Portland is the best, don't dis! i love it i grew up there. Ive never been to the book store tho :( but i will! o and ya we love gardening drunk! :D or at least my family dose!
Smoke some local weed. That's a MUST when in Oregon. Also, it's pronounced Wil-LAM-et. We do have the best beer. I've sat in the front seat of the Spruce Goose.This guys a douche for sure.
ok yeah this guy is retarded. portland is way better than seattle. the culture, portland is more relaxed and friendly, this city is all about local businesses. the Japanese garden is the most authentic outside Japan built by folks from our sister city, Sapporo. right next to it is the International Rose Garden. Portland is very outdoorsy. This is the bicycle capital of the US. the most skate friendly city in the US with its own skatepark master plan!! best rated public transportation. fuck cars
Everybody says portland is a nice city. For me is the worst city in the world. Full of homeless, weirdos, losers dreaming of working in a coffee house and do meth and marijuana. I was living there in the nicest street NW 23rd. but i came back to NYC cause i can't stand losers and homeless. There's nothing to do. SO BORIIIINNNNGGGG.
@amsterdamob Well, let me tell you, if i lose my home of course i will go back to portland. HOMELESS PARDISE. hahahahahahaha and weirdos junkies. Meth land.
Yeah! And what does jew york have? Crack, way too many people, probably just as many homeless people, aaaaand your stupid ass. Who would want to go there?
Go suck a dick for some crack. I just know you're jonesing. For dick sucking that is. The crack is just gravy, right? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!! Asshole. Fuck the east coast.
@amsterdamob HAHAHAHAHA yeah, Im living in the capital of the world, where everything happens, where everybody wants to be. In portland everybody's goal is to work in starbuck or at powell's bookstore. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
@amsterdamob I actually think its a race thing since his name is Juan and he might be pissed that the city has other better things to do than to cater to mexican pride events or puerto rico. I believe more in cultural events not involving race. Race is more a private matter to deal with in your own home.
@RenaRyuguuChan NO I did't come to NYC to get away from homeless and junkies. I came here to get away from retards and losers like you. Thanks GOD i live in the capital of the world, where everybody wants to be. Not in the backyard. Good Luck.
I love Portland. They have a wonderful theater community and their music scene isn't anything to laugh at either.
The smaller towns around Portland are beautiful and traffic isn't usually too bad.
If you're a history buff, head on over to Oregon City (my hometown) which is the end of the Oregon Trail. It has a wonderful historical district. You can even take ghost tours of it during certain times of the year (we love our ghosts).
YOu also want to check out S.E. 82nd. It's a bit rough for some but the unending unusual Asian eateries is so worth it. Vietnamese Bakeries, Largest Asian Mall in Oregon, Japanese crepes, you get the picture. So my advice is come and drink and eat yourself into utter oblivion. You won't regret it.
Native Portlander and fellow geek talking here . . (or typing really) . . any hoo. . good list if your writing up a brochure, I guess. Frankly when you come to Portland you want to eat and you want to drink, a lot. Portland is all about obsession: Largest bookstore, largest video rental store, most Parks per square mile, and for the foodie in you a plethora of divine eateries and fascinating food stores for the curious and adventurous. Go to N. Killingsworth, S.E. Hawthorne, Alberta, and eat
5) Move to PDX and raise your cildren in a city with an untold surplus of cash yet somehow NO funding for it's schools! YAY! 6) Be wrongfully arrested by a corrupt revenue driven vice squad 7) where else can you go where the homeless are so welcomed and encouraged to remain homeless, mooching and begging hard working people for money? The Homeless are also given FREE, yes FREE heroin kits by this lovely city. Fresh needles and bands to tie off their arms. JOY!
Oh some things that didn't make the list but should have: 1) Go to a Porn store and get a BJ from the closet dwelling married man with crabs through a lory hole 2) Go to a gay bar and unknowingly swallow a roofie so you can be BF'd in the parking lot by a gay rapist 3) Go to Ron Jeremy's swingers club 4) no matter where you live, you will live less than 5 blocks from a registered sex offender
5: Go downtown at night and wait for the cops to beat on somebody(just hang out, it'll happen!) 6: Go to Pioneer Square and await your Guru to show up. Look for the guy with a torn up sweatshirt on his head; a golf club as a walking stick...your troubles are over! 7: Don't look for a great Mexican food restaurant 8: Check out Apple Music to see a huge display of guitars...even though too expensive 9: Go to Kells Irish Pub. 10: Wear a big thick coat with shorts; sandals so we can laugh at you.
1: take your bike out to Powell Butte...it is a great place to ride! 2: rent a Kayak a paddle down the Willamette or the Columbia 3: Check out the Portland music scene it is HUGE. hard to run out of bands to see 4: Take your streetluge or downhill skateboard(or just your dog!?)out to Mt.Tabor. Fun (though short)ride...nice place.
Also it really does not rain as much as the reputaion or twilight (ha!),) which was filmed here, Portland has a huge film industry, and many movies are filmed here), implies, the only rainy months are winter, we get rain instead snow and we stay pretty warm year round, top summers ever tho, and I've been to Hawaii and all over cali. and Florida, nothing beats Portland summers. I'm done finally I had to go on a Portland rant cuz that list made Portland sound like the lamest hick town ever, gawd!
I also forgot to mention before one of my favorite places, Voodoo Donuts, which was featured on the food network . And one last thing just on the top of my head is the public transportation, you can max or bus literally anywhere in the Portland area and it's free every where down town and extending all the way to the Loyd center mall, which was the biggest mall in the world when it was built in 1960. basically you have to experience Portland, it is a place that has things for everyone.
You can't forget about the beach also being less than an hour away canon beach and seaside are amazing places with tide pools surfing scuba diving, and unique shops. also right there is the sand dunes where you can sand board, quad, ride dune buggies and camp. Theres spirit mountain casino just outside of Newport and five star hotels and beach houses to rent. very nice I'd recommend it.
Theres also a very cultured part to Portland, pioneer place mall is great for name brand shopping with stores like Gucci and gabbana, and juicy. The pearl district area are full classy nice restaurants and shops perfect for a nice night out. Portland is also HUg on wine and wine tasting you can find many amazing local wines to dazel your date. (another park/ garden is the grotto, very romantic)
Portland has an amazing nightlife as well with high end clubs and bars and many venues for it's large music scene. there are often late night events hosted downtown at pioneer courthouse square

Why are you people responding with positive comments about Portland? Do you really want more people like juancamex taking up space, even for a short time? Instead, get the word out that Portland is: the most vile, gloomy, boring, and most ugly city in the entire free world, a city where it rains 20 inches 365 days a year, no one ever gets laid, everyone is unemployed, and there are rats the size of small pigs lurking at every street corner.........

@MrRuigni Yes, I saw it but it still does leave some doubt that Portland might not be the vilest place on earth, when in fact, 100% fact, Portland is the most terrible, soul robbing city in the world. Nobody in their right mind should ever even visit the area, none of the area, and please do not look out your airplane windows when flying over the area....it all sucks. The mountains, and everything else, you may see in other Portland videos is all digital fabrication. Please believe me.
famousPhotog 1 year ago
@famousPhotog I think you are wrong though as far as a soul robbing place. Dude if you want soul robbing, come to South FL in the suburbs of Tampa. You will see a far worse place than Portland could EVER be with new subdivisions, no individuality. I am still moving to Portland regardless of what is said by you.

ok yeah this guy is retarded. portland is way better than seattle. the culture, portland is more relaxed and friendly, this city is all about local businesses. the Japanese garden is the most authentic outside Japan built by folks from our sister city, Sapporo. right next to it is the International Rose Garden. Portland is very outdoorsy. This is the bicycle capital of the US. the most skate friendly city in the US with its own skatepark master plan!! best rated public transportation. fuck cars

Everybody says portland is a nice city. For me is the worst city in the world. Full of homeless, weirdos, losers dreaming of working in a coffee house and do meth and marijuana. I was living there in the nicest street NW 23rd. but i came back to NYC cause i can't stand losers and homeless. There's nothing to do. SO BORIIIINNNNGGGG.

@amsterdamob I actually think its a race thing since his name is Juan and he might be pissed that the city has other better things to do than to cater to mexican pride events or puerto rico. I believe more in cultural events not involving race. Race is more a private matter to deal with in your own home.

I love Portland. They have a wonderful theater community and their music scene isn't anything to laugh at either.
The smaller towns around Portland are beautiful and traffic isn't usually too bad.
If you're a history buff, head on over to Oregon City (my hometown) which is the end of the Oregon Trail. It has a wonderful historical district. You can even take ghost tours of it during certain times of the year (we love our ghosts).

YOu also want to check out S.E. 82nd. It's a bit rough for some but the unending unusual Asian eateries is so worth it. Vietnamese Bakeries, Largest Asian Mall in Oregon, Japanese crepes, you get the picture. So my advice is come and drink and eat yourself into utter oblivion. You won't regret it.

Native Portlander and fellow geek talking here . . (or typing really) . . any hoo. . good list if your writing up a brochure, I guess. Frankly when you come to Portland you want to eat and you want to drink, a lot. Portland is all about obsession: Largest bookstore, largest video rental store, most Parks per square mile, and for the foodie in you a plethora of divine eateries and fascinating food stores for the curious and adventurous. Go to N. Killingsworth, S.E. Hawthorne, Alberta, and eat

5) Move to PDX and raise your cildren in a city with an untold surplus of cash yet somehow NO funding for it's schools! YAY! 6) Be wrongfully arrested by a corrupt revenue driven vice squad 7) where else can you go where the homeless are so welcomed and encouraged to remain homeless, mooching and begging hard working people for money? The Homeless are also given FREE, yes FREE heroin kits by this lovely city. Fresh needles and bands to tie off their arms. JOY!

Oh some things that didn't make the list but should have: 1) Go to a Porn store and get a BJ from the closet dwelling married man with crabs through a lory hole 2) Go to a gay bar and unknowingly swallow a roofie so you can be BF'd in the parking lot by a gay rapist 3) Go to Ron Jeremy's swingers club 4) no matter where you live, you will live less than 5 blocks from a registered sex offender

5: Go downtown at night and wait for the cops to beat on somebody(just hang out, it'll happen!) 6: Go to Pioneer Square and await your Guru to show up. Look for the guy with a torn up sweatshirt on his head; a golf club as a walking stick...your troubles are over! 7: Don't look for a great Mexican food restaurant 8: Check out Apple Music to see a huge display of guitars...even though too expensive 9: Go to Kells Irish Pub. 10: Wear a big thick coat with shorts; sandals so we can laugh at you.

Fun (though short)ride...nice place.

Also it really does not rain as much as the reputaion or twilight (ha!),) which was filmed here, Portland has a huge film industry, and many movies are filmed here), implies, the only rainy months are winter, we get rain instead snow and we stay pretty warm year round, top summers ever tho, and I've been to Hawaii and all over cali. and Florida, nothing beats Portland summers. I'm done finally I had to go on a Portland rant cuz that list made Portland sound like the lamest hick town ever, gawd!

I also forgot to mention before one of my favorite places, Voodoo Donuts, which was featured on the food network . And one last thing just on the top of my head is the public transportation, you can max or bus literally anywhere in the Portland area and it's free every where down town and extending all the way to the Loyd center mall, which was the biggest mall in the world when it was built in 1960. basically you have to experience Portland, it is a place that has things for everyone.

You can't forget about the beach also being less than an hour away canon beach and seaside are amazing places with tide pools surfing scuba diving, and unique shops. also right there is the sand dunes where you can sand board, quad, ride dune buggies and camp. Theres spirit mountain casino just outside of Newport and five star hotels and beach houses to rent. very nice I'd recommend it.

Theres also a very cultured part to Portland, pioneer place mall is great for name brand shopping with stores like Gucci and gabbana, and juicy. The pearl district area are full classy nice restaurants and shops perfect for a nice night out. Portland is also HUg on wine and wine tasting you can find many amazing local wines to dazel your date. (another park/ garden is the grotto, very romantic)

Portland has an amazing nightlife as well with high end clubs and bars and many venues for it's large music scene. there are often late night events hosted downtown at pioneer courthouse square
