Portland (& Oregon) has no sales tax..... That's quite true, while Seattle's is over 8.5%. (Had to pay for Paul Allen's football stadium etc.) Even though I am a Seattleite, I think Portland is a great town for shopping and sightseeing. A compact, walkable city, great views of the mountains and the Willamette, beautiful drives out along the Gorge, and don't miss Powell's Books!!! |

No sales tax in Portland and the inner city bus is free.
Good zoo too and the art museum ain't bad either.

Totally agree. Portland is a nice nice place! Seattle is great but is
big and suffers from the 'big city' manners or lack thereof. wrote: Not the Karl Orff wrote: In article REIac.1493$Ig.526@pd7tw2no, "Dwayne" wrote: Which city would be best for shopping and a little sightseeing...Seattle/Tukwila or Portland, Oregon and why?

Portland is better for small, local, specialty boutiques. Portland is better for relaxing after the whirlwind in Seattle. Seattle has better air connections, especially coming from east of Denver. Portland is fine if you're coming from a west coast location (it's been sheer murder trying to get good flights back east from PDX, for me). gld |
