The metropolitan area is home to close to 2.3 million Portlanders and is home to several corporate headquarters of large industries.

Some interesting facts about Portland include the cleanliness, use of land area, and the catchy slogan 'keeping Portland weird.' Although its neighboring city, Seattle has some crazy history and sketchy roots, Portland Oregon has some of its own. The city of Portland was founded very close to the end of the Oregon Trail.

It shouldn't be once you visit the area. Portland has a ton of trash receptacles with recycling bins to match - everywhere you look!

Alongside the pretty decent public transportation system is the intense planning and development of the city's light rail.

If you've ever heard of, or seen, the show 'Portlandia,' then you probably are aware of the 'weirdness' of the city. The catch phrase (but not officially endorsed) of Portland Oregon is "Keeping Portland Weird." There are several nuances that help keep the city 'weird,' from many of the young adults wearing skinny jeans and non-prescription eyeglasses to the many local microbreweries and micro-distilleries.
