The Portland Embassy Suites Hotel
is located in the heart of Washington County offering virtually
you need for a relaxing visit to Downtown Portland.
Portland Oregon (OR) started as a spot known as "The
Clearing" which was on the Willamette about half-way
between Oregon City and Fort Vancouver.
In its early years, Portland existed in the shadow of Oregon
City, the territorial capital twelve miles upstream on the
falls of the Willamette. However, Portland was located at
the Willamette's head of navigation, the furthest point inland
one could reliably reach by ship. This gave it a key advantage
over its older peer.
With moderate temperatures and varied and beautiful terrain,
Portland is the quintessential outdoor city. The magnificent
waterways overlook the Mount Hood glacier, a backdrop that
sets the scene for a spectacular visit at any time of year.
Forest Park offers 40 miles of wilderness trails, streams
and woods within the city limits. Hiking, biking and exploring
opportunities are always close at hand.
Culture and art; the Trailblazers and the Hawks; Mount Hood
with its tempting menu of year round outdoor activities; fine
wines, beers, and restaurants; farmers markets and excellent
shopping: these are just a few of the many reasons to visit
and enjoy Portland, Oregon.
