Travel
We recommend using Expedia to compare and track flight prices. Alaska Airlines typically has the cheapest, non-stop flights from DFW & ATL!
Turo is a great resource for reasonable rental cars.
There are so many great Airbnbs and VRBOs near Portland! Reach out if you have questions about the safety of a particular area in downtown. Some other towns to check for (maybe cheaper) places to stay are listed here:
Closer to Venue: Clackamas, Happy Valley, Gresham
Closer to Columbia River Gorge: Gresham, Troutdale, Sandy
Closer to the Coast: Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard
