The largest city in the Pacific Northwestern state of Oregon, Portland is known for its liberal, progressive identity. The most environmentally-conscious city in the country, it is known for its walkability, clean public transport system and thriving countercultural scene. It is particularly well-known for its top-tier bars and restaurants. Historically supported economically by the timber industry, it is a stone’s throw away from some of the most beautiful scenery in the Pacific Northwest.
