Portland is having a moment. If there was any doubt about it, just look at the 8.7 million tourists that visited in 2014. Or the hundreds of restaurants, cafés and breweries in Oregon that opened in the last year, accompanied by increased media attention spotlighting Portland as a destination for serious foodies, from The New York Times to The Guardian. Or the number of festivals and events drawing crowds to celebrate music, wine, outdoor activities and more. When Hillary Clinton visited Portland in April 2014, she greeted the city and promptly named some of the unique tourist attractions, including Voodoo Doughnuts and Powell’s Books. But they aren’t all just visitors.
