About Portland, Oregon
Portland lies at the confluence of two rivers, the Willamette and the Columbia. The city is also named the “Bridge City”, because of 12 bridges that cross the Willamette River. It is about 70 miles far from the Pacific coast. The population is about 700,000. The scenery is beautiful and you can see many hills, rivers, and mountains. The climate is mild, with rainy springs until the end of May, with summers that can reach 90 degrees F, and winters without snow.
The city is famous for its breweries. That’s why it is often called the beer capital of the world. Its residents have a friendly attitude, and if you are an outdoor-lover, you will easily adjust since most of them spend much of their free time cycling, hiking, climbing, and windsurfing.
