The 187 long primary river that bisects the city of Portland and flows northward into the Columbia. If you don't pronunce the name correctly in the presence of a local they will very likely inform you it rhymes with "damn it!"

Great loop to take from any part of PDX. I cruise from NE take the east bank esplanade to the Springwater on the Willamette path to Oaks Park and the Sellwood bridge. Some near dirt trails off the path along the waterfront. Youโll see the occasional camper off the less travelled path but everyone seems to keep to themselves. Sellwood bridge has some nice views of the Portland skyline you cross the river and you can take the South Waterfront Greenway back to Downtown or the Tilikum Crossing Bridge. Itโs a pretty nice and simple convenient way to see different parts of town and be off in your own world if youโre looking for a ride to clear your head at 7AM, 2PM or 3AM itโs always pretty quiet

The house was built between 1844 and 1845 by Dr. John McLoughlin, a prominent figure in the early history of the Oregon Territory. The house served as a residence, business office, and gathering place for settlers and traders. Saved from demolition in 1909 by the McLoughlin Memorial Association, it was moved to its current location on Singer Hill, overlooking the Willamette River.

Established in the late 19th century, the farm has been continuously owned and operated by the Davis family for over 100 years, making it a true century farm. A 150-year-old pear tree believed to be planted by the Kalfleisch family, the farm's previous owners, adds historical context to the property.

Marvel at the Sellwood Bridge, a majestic arch spanning the mighty Willamette River. Its latest iteration, completed in 2016, succeeded the 1925 original. The inaugural bridge, Portland's pioneering fixed-span crossing, reigned as Oregon's busiest two-lane bridge, serving as the lone river crossing for miles in every direction.
