4. owell’s City of Books: There’s no
P
shortage of wonderful neighborhood
bookstores in the area, and we encourage you to patronize them all, but no
visit to Portland is complete without a
stop at Powell’s City of Books. Filling
an entire city block with new and used
books of all genres, it’s like nothing any
visiting booklover has ever seen. The
children’s section is as impressive as
the rest of the store, with cozy corners
where families can explore the diverse
and colorful stories before you decide
what to buy. Plus, they’re planning to
expand the children’s section later this
year! The store is open from 9 am-11 pm
daily. (1005 W Burnside, 503-228-4651,

5. imbers Soccer: “When I root, I root for the Timbers!” Portland’s Major
T
League Soccer fans are the most enthusiastic you’ll find, and a Timbers soccer
game is a great way to show off our local pride while enjoying pure summer fun
at its finest. Can’t get tickets for a Timbers game? (They have sold out every
home game since their MLS debut in 2011!) Grab some seats at a Portland
Thorns game instead. The Thorns earned the National Women’s Soccer League
championship in 2013, making them the first champions in the newly formed
league. Those women can kick some serious soccer balls! Learn more at
timbers.com (Timbers) and timbers.com/thornsfc (Thorns).
