The original location started by dear friends of Jedediah and Natasha, Cat Daddy and Tres.
The oldest and largest independent bookstore in the world. If you're a book lover, set aside a few hours to truly enjoy this spot.
A short, easy hike for the less experienced hiker and you can still enjoy the beautiful experience of Oregon's bounty... On the drive out or in, take the old scenic highway and immerse yourself in the Colombia Gorge's beauty. Pre-purchase a parking pass if you plan to venture out. Scenic points to watch out for along the drive; Crown Point and Horsetail Falls.
May be slightly early for the roses to be blooming, but this collection features some strains of roses over a hundred years old. At the time of writing this, it seems some early blooms may be showing by early May, but Portland springs are full of surprises.
Neighboring the rose gardens, they feature gorgeous plants that highlight the city sisterhoods between Oregon and Japan.
The spot where Jedediah and Natasha first met. Upon entry, the corner of the bar are their preferred seats and for a special touch, you can ask any of the bartender for their signature drinks.
Portland's oldest bar and restaurant. Famous for their tableside Spanish Coffee experience, they serve American Classic, top notch dinners and were recently featured in Raging Midlife (keep an eye out for an especially handsome Viking and Paula Abdul)
A wonderful, walkable Zoo experience, it features many PNW gems as well as the fresh baby elephant Tula-Tu (born February 1, 2025)
