A city located in the Pacific Northwest, Portland contains people also known as hipsters, who only care about biking, the pursuit for a great cup of coffee, and lastly organic everything, not just food. Portland is a wannabe of Seattle and New York while also trying to strive in their own direction where people have mixed opinions on Portlander's lifestyle.
Wow, Portland is being taken over by hipster bike riders that decide to cruise on car lanes when they have empty bike lanes to the right of them, how nice and safe.

Portland only wishes it had anywhere near the amount of activities and attractions that Seattle has!

Think Seattle without the canyon's of skyscraper's. Portland has the same population as Seattle, BY FAR way more crime then Seattle. It's a dirty city with a high poverty level. Downtown, Inner Northeast, and North Portland area's are full of thug's, gangbanger's, drug dealer's and are predominatly Black and Hispanic.
PORTLAND POPULATION COMPARED TO SEATTLE'S:
Portland (563,000 Total) 401,000 People Are White
37,000 People Are Black
38,000 People Are Hispanic
32,000 People Are Asian
56,000 People Are Mixed

Seattle (580,000 Total) 393,000 People Are White
49,000 People Are Black
31,000 People Are Hispanic
76,000 People Are Asian
30,000 People Are Mixed

Portland is currently undergoing one of the most major highrise progect's in the northwest called the "North Macadam" which is 409 acres of undeveloped property in which will be built hundred's of skyscraper's and condo's. People who say Portland is a wannabe seattle are misguided. They normally think Portland is just downtown while it actually expands about 15 mile's east of downtown. Portland's overall land size is approximately 3 time's as big as Seattle's. Seattle's land is approx. 47 sq. mile's, while Portland's land is approx. 134 sq. mile's.

Rich Guy Bob: We are Gang Member's.

Maniac: Naw nigga this some real talk, Bridgetown Blood city. Fuck Seattle and they wannabe asse's

p much the only interesting city in oregon. it's urban and hip w a lot of good restaurants and cafes. it's a smaller city, but there's still a lot to do. people are generally nice, but there are a lot of repressed yuppies *mostly in forest heights.* it's a burgeoning and growing city but it's getting there. it has a small and big town feel at the same time, and it's not too expensive. a lot of people move here, mostly from the bay area
Dude I heard you were moving from San Jose! Where are you moving to?
Portland.
EVERYONES MOVING THERE

A smallish west-coast city. Heavily populated with liberals and counterculturists, it is a Democrat city holding a Republican state hostage. Known to corrupt people once they move within the city limits, creating arrogant, rebellious youths who style themselves as revolutionaries and try to rebell against every possible institution. This has created widespread drawbacks and has caused the birth of many new ways to refer to the city, such as:
"Moscow-on-the-Williamate"
"Sodom-on-the-river"
and
"Oregons' Cesspit."
In the end, Portland is a festering sore in the otherwise pristine Williamate valley.
"Hey, do you think this black mascara makes me look rebellious enough to go to the punk show tonight?"

"Hey, do you think if I put my bra on backwards I could start a trend?"

"Hey, do you like my new messenger bag? I was tired of my old one, it had a brand sticker on it and I felt like I was supporting some evil corporate empire, so I set it on fire in somebodies' mailbox."

"Dating Portland girls is like fishing in a ditch: if you do catch something, you're gonna need antibiotics."

One of the most boring cities. Lousy weather, no sports (except for an NBA team), no amusement parks, no nothing. It's hick.
Born and raised in Portland. I'm moving to Los Angeles
