This is pretty cool but much smaller than I expected. The Sci-Fi museum was a plesant surprise.

I guess I should write a review on the site.

We should take the monorail from downtown to here for the Space Needle and the EMP/Sci-Fi Museum, beats walking the mile and a half.

Portland is a very Bike-friendly City - and many stores give u a discount for riding - so carry your helmet. All Buses have racks, and you can take a Bike on MAX Light Rail to quickly zip to another sector of the city for exploration. MANY miles of Bike Lanes, free parking, events year round. Yes, Thousands ride year-round, even in the rain. Be sure the bike you ride has GREAT lights, not just one tiny flashing light....night motorists have a HARD time seeing you at the speed they travel. Search BTA 4 Bikes for Maps, info, events. Enjoy!

Hey Matt - just noticed you were going to Seattle - I was just there - you should check out "Serious Pie" - it's a great pizza place in Seattle - go for Happy Hour from 3-5 each day. Have fun!

I'm so jealous that you are going to Vancouver. Have a great time!

sorry, it's probably sacrilige (?) to link you to a google map. anyway, that strip of commercial between venables street and e. 9th ave is what i was referring to. mostly up near the intersection of e. 1st ave but a few blocks in either direction. vancouver is pretty walkable and their subway/train system is controlled, like in germany (though i know you always buy your ticket)
