Powell's bookstore, and a walk around downtown. Powell's will give you an annotated city center map.

Welcome!!
Out that way, if you have a choice of where to stay and like groovy, funky type of stuff, look up McMenamin's Grand Lodge. They have an awesome outdoor soaking tub (huge, made of stone) and incredible food. The bars are plentiful and they make their own brew. Their Ruby beer is fantastic. They have a spa there as well as a movie theatre. There is usually live music Fri-Sun and stuff going on out on the lawn... (can you tell I love the place?) It's not too far from Hillsboro and is priced cheaply. The history of the place is neat and if you're lucky, you'll get to see one of their ghosts. 
Great roads to ride on in that area. Many cyclists for different events stay there when in the area. When you know more, update us and maybe a few of us Portlanders can meet up with you when you are in town.

Or some of us Seattle folk
I don't think I've been to the Grand Lodge. I've been to Edgefield though and have enjoyed it thoroughly!

McMenamin's Thread Drift
[thread drift ... terribly sorry ....]
Say, have any of you Portlandeers been to McMenamin's Kennedy School?
SadieKate & I were mulling over the possibility of a trip to Portland for the Handmade Bike Show. I'd love to stay at the Grand Lodge, but it seems to be a bit of a haul from Forest Grove to the Portland Convention Center, so we're contemplating the Kennedy School instead.
Any thoughts from the locals?

Am thinking I have nothing going on that saturday. We could either fly or drive down. When you know where you are, I can see if TriMet goes there! If not, we could always drive. Would be fun!!!

I wish McMenamin's would take pets who are always under supervision . . .
