House Or Rental
House Rentals
House rentals via sites like VRBO and Air BnB are available; suggested areas include Alberta/Irvington in NE Portland (this will be near the reception), Hosford-Abernethy, around SE Division between 20th and Mt. Tabor. Nob Hill near downtown may also have some options with easier public transit to the wedding venues. We live in Foster-Powell, a 20 min drive to the wedding venues and 1 hour by public transit.
Travel Note
Parking
The closest parking for the ceremony will be along S Bray Ln, which we will be able to open for the event. From Fairview Blvd take SW Fischer Ln to Bray Ln. There is also parking in the main arboretum parking lot and along Fairview Blvd, with trails that lead to the Redwood Deck. Google maps provides directions to the Redwood Deck, and the trails can be seen there as well. Parking for Cafe Olli is primarily street parking near the cafe.
Travel Note
Transportation to the Ceremony
From downtown, public transportation is fairly easy to both the ceremony and reception. TO THE CEREMONY: The MAX Blue line runs to the Washington Park MAX station. From there a shuttle provides transportation around the park and stops at the arboretum. Once off the shuttle, you can either walk the trail or catch a ride down the access road to the Redwood Deck.
Travel Note
Transportation to the Reception
From downtown, take the number 6 bus eastbound. Get off at the NE MLK and Failing stop. Cafe Olli is a 2 minute walk from this stop.

Other Transportation Options
