Many other defs will try and convince you that this city is trying to emulate Seattle. Let's take a minute to think about how retarded that statement is. A city is not a living thing; it has no concept of popularity. It's hard to see how the city of Portland can make a conscious effort to "copy off of" Seattle. Portland is an awesome place. You can get everything you need from the urban lifestyle, but it still has all the comforts of living somewhere really familiar. Indie music capital of the nation, which makes it about fifty times cooler than Seattle right there. The people are totally chill and friendly, accepting, and hospitable. The greatest city on earth.

Portland is a beautiful city, with a diverse and interesting population. It stands out from the rest of Oregon, by being the only area where conservatives are a minority.
Street performers, the homeless, art, and Marijuana are abundant in this unique city.
Portland has two sports teams, the Trail Blazers (Basketball) and the Lumberjacks (Lacrosse). Although I heard they were getting a quiddich team... Joking.

City in Oregon
Portland and orgy of metal, punk, and indie music culture.
a fucking awesome city that has everything that you will ever need. Full of hippies, punks, and rebellious teen's. Grunge never died here still alive and well though indie fan's will try to tell you otherwise. We got something for everyone, and if your not part of everyone... Get the fuck out

A city in Oregon where a keen stench of rebellion and hipster fills the air. Everyone hates everyone and you only fit in if you are homeless, beautiful, or own stock in Nike. The population of white girls increases at such a rapid rate that a Starbucks must be opened at every corner in order to prevent famine. No one knows if pot is legal or not but every 80 year old with "glaucoma" smokes it. The people of Portland also have their own dictionary that consists of: Yeah, Naw, Dope, Huh, and "No, it's too mainstream..." Pack some form of self defense as your current view of what's cool may be stolen and gang raped.

The nicest city In the United States. Lots to do for active Liberal minded outdoor folk. Laid back atomosphere. Much better than Vancouver BC or Seattle. Those two cities are rude and filled with thugs and drugs and annoying folk. Especially Vancouver, My HOME. I would like to relocate in Portland some day in the future.

A city full of bikes, books, bars, beers, boutiques, baristas, brunch and Bloody Mary's, as well as a million neighborhoods worth visiting for their bars, boutiques and brunch. Portlanders also love gelato, food carts, parks, facial hair, plaid flannel, vintage shops, colleges, public transportation, liberals, reusable grocery bags, vegans and vegetarians, tattoos and piercings, and dogs, and unlike residents of Seattle who claim to love the rain, Portlanders don't like it that much (but still refuse to use umbrellas). And it's true, all the hot girls do wear glasses. Also it's totally possible to bike from southeast to St. Johns in an hour because it's not a real big place.
