Things To Do
International Rose Test Garden
The roses will be blooming! A Portland must for visitors, and a beautiful stop within Washington Park.
Washington Park
While you're at the Rose Garden, you might as well check out the rest of Washington Park, including the Japanese Gardens, Hoyt Arboretum, or even the Oregon Zoo. The MAX Light Rail has a stop here for easy commuting.
Multnomah Falls
You can't visit Portland without trekking out to the famous Multnomah Falls. Be advised, you will need a permit this time of year, so plan ahead (link below). Make sure you stop by Vista House while you're out there.
Powell's City of Books
Another classic Portland stop.
Forest Park
Over 80 miles of trails of all levels, right here in the city!
Pittock Mansion
Take a tour inside or just come up for free views of the city. You can even hike here from the Lower Macleay Trail in Forest Park.
Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade and Bar
The location of our second date!
Portland Saturday Market
You can find a lot of yummy snacks and peruse cool local art!
Beaverton Farmers Market
This is one of the best farmers markets in the area and it’s just down the street from the church!
Raindrop Tap House
We went here on our first date!
BGs Food Cartel
Countless food carts in downtown Beaverton!
Salt & Straw
Kelsie's favorite stop for ice cream! There are a bunch of locations all around the Portland area and even one in Beaverton. You have to try all their quirky (and surprisingly delicious) flavors, in addition to all the yummy classics.
Pip's Original Doughnuts & Chai
Forget Voodoo and Blue Star Donuts (seriously, overrated) - Pip's is a much better choice for Portland donuts. They have a location in Beaverton as well!
Good Coffee
It really is good. But you can't go wrong with any Portland coffee spot!
Brickhaus Coffee
A cozy spot in downtown Beaverton. And Harry Potter themed lattes!
Screen Door Pearl District
The sweet potato waffles...
Nak Won
You'll find a lot of Korean Barbecue in Beaverton, but we've been told this one is the best.
Yuubi Sushi
The cutest sushi restaurant. Maybe they'll be playing Backstreet Boys again like when we went.
Janken
A unique Japanese-Korean fusion
