What a dream bookstore for book lovers indeed! Founded in 1971, Powell's is such a Portland staple,…read moreand this location in the Pearl District is ginormous. You can seriously spend hours perusing all the books and choosing your next read, coffee table book, or whatever your heart desires. My favorite section of the bookstore hands down was the Rare Book Room, a special temperature and humidity-controlled room filled with some of the coolest books I have ever laid eyes on. And yes, they are for sale! To me, the room felt alive as I stood in the presence of historical literature, just as when I stand in the presence of great artifacts at a museum. Access to the Rare Book Room is granted as long as you grab a pass, and no food, drink, or unpaid books/merchandise is allowed inside. You can spend as long as you like (as long as it's not crowded in the room), and there is also a staff member present to answer any questions you may have. Of course I had to purchase a book from Powell's, called Freeway Birding, San Francisco to Seattle (it was even signed)! As an avid birdwatcher, this was the perfect book to add to my ever-expanding library. I also grabbed one of their wooden postcards and a couple of stickers to commemorate our time spent at this amazing bookstore. While the entire store was bustling, even on a weekday in August, take your time at Powell's and get swept away by any and all genres of literature that call to you. You never know what you may find next.

Powell's City of Books is kind of a must for any book lover! Whenever I visit a city, I try to…read morefind a local bookstore, and I knew before we even arrived that I had to check out Powell's. It was within walking distance of our hotel in the Pearl District, so we didn't need to contend with parking. It's overwhelming at first - I had heard of how large it was, but you don't quite get the scope until you start walking through - here are books and people everywhere you look! You can just wander, or make a plan of attack and strategically try to visit every corner of the store. We kind of did a combination of both, and started at the top floor and worked our way back down to ground level. The prices are typical of an independent book store, but they had a nice selection of used books and some great value books to snap up, too. There is literally something for everyone. There are lots of local authors and books set in the region. There are bookmarks around each info station with suggested/popular reads for each section of the store. There was a nice selection of local and bookish items and gifts, too - totes, t-shirts, postcards, stickers, etc. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I'll be stopping in any time I'm in Portland!

Mountain Hardware, Prana, and Sorel were other brands sold at this store. We were able to get things for the whole family like jackets, tops, shorts, pants, and hats from Columbia and Mountain Hardware. Everything was at least 40% off with some items that appeared to have a bigger discount. Access to this store is easier to get than other employee stores. We got our entrance pass through AAA. It's also offered to Oregon Zoo members and Columbia rewards members on specified dates. The customer service was 4 stars with readily available people ready to assist.

It felt like they expanded it or made it more spacious and better lighting. It was super organized. There's also a little play area for kids in the kids section and everything was laid out nicely. I enjoyed exploring and walking around there! Maybe one day I'll find something that fits and it my range (price wise!)

David immediately accepted the task and the team worked with me over 3 months to troubleshoot every possible underlying issue with my bike. And they fixed it! Since then I've brought the same bike back with a new issue, a different bike for a tune-up, and friends have also brought their bikes in. I will never go anywhere else!! They are always so friendly and accommodating, their labor and parts prices are UNBEATABLE, and their work is thorough and fully explained. THANK YOU TomCat bikes!!! - Miriam

If I didn't live nearby I wouldn't shop here. There's only…read moretwo people who work here who don't act like me shopping there is inconveniencing them or ruining their day. I'm usually out in less than a few minutes. I don't spend time asking for recommendations or trying to small talk. So I could go without the passive aggressive attitude I've gotten from a few of them. I've recently changed to prerolls because 4/5 of the strains I got had seeds in them. They have poor quality assurance. I Wouldn't recommend. Once you realize it's just the Walmart version of a dispensary, the appeal wears off. But yet I still stop here from time to time because it's nearby. But not because it's a pleasant experience.

This is an average dispensary in Beaverton that I found during a random map search. Inside there are two different lines - one for walk-ins and one for online order pickup. There was a line when we walked in and they were a little understaffed, so it did take a while for us to be helped out in the walk-in line. When we got up to the counter, we selected two items. The guy who helped us recommended all types of edibles and vaporizers in several different flavors. I got a pack of raspberry lemonade edibles and my boyfriend got a lemon kush vaporizer. I tried the vaporizer first, where my boyfriend advised me to smoke only a little of it first and then slowly make my way up longer. The dispensary was worth visiting, but I think they could use some more staff.
