NEW HOTEL THE HOXTON,
PORTLAND WILL OPEN
IN 2018
A City in Transition
As Portland grows, residents strive to maintain the city’s character.
BY KAREN MARTWICK
B
y the year 2020, Portland will have 4,000 new hotel
rooms. That represents a 40% growth since 2016 — and
it’s just one example of how the city is changing. The
population is also forecast to surge 40% by 2035, and
Portland’s progressive urban growth boundary means that
the city will grow up, not out. Once-quiet streets now buzz
with activity (and traffic). As old buildings are demolished to
P H OTO G R A P H B Y A A R O N L E E
make way for new construction, worries over gentrification
and affordability mount.
These changes don’t come without growing pains.
Along with many other Western cities, Portland declared
a housing emergency in 2015 and is still struggling to
provide sufficient affordable housing for its residents.
You will see homeless people on the streets of Portland.
BY KAREN MARTWICK
TRAVELPORTLAND.COM
Historic racism and poor planning decisions have pushed
many black residents out of the neighborhoods they built.
These struggles aren’t unique to Portland, but the city and
its residents are actively reflecting on how we are changing,
and grappling with the question of how we want to change.
For visitors, this all means that Portland is a different
place than it used to be. If you haven’t visited in a few
years, the city will wow you with its new restaurants, bars,
stores and areas to explore. Our population is more diverse
and there are more cultural and entertainment offerings
than ever. And if you’ve never visited, this is a great time
to discover Portland — even as we discover the city we’re
becoming.

MISSION
THE CITIZENS OF PORTLAND have a serious thing for making the world a better
place. Humanitarian heavyweights like Mercy Corps and Medical Teams International anchor a rich
and diverse nonprofit scene, but you’ll also find an energetic activist spirit in the stuff of daily life — a
brewery that funds mentors for at-risk children, for instance, or a T-shirt that’s a call to action for nonbi-
nary gender justice. Here are three Portland endeavors that include philanthropy with every purchase.

I nspired by what they

considered a lack in their
own closets, Emma Mcilroy
and Julia Parsley launched Wildfang
back in 2013 simply to provide cool
menswear-inspired looks tailored for

women’s bodies. They ended up kick-
starting a fashion movement.

MISSION JOEL GREGORY OF EX NOVO

“I DIDN’T SEE

ANY REASON
WHY THE
[BREWERY’S]
VALUES
SHOULD
DEVIATE FROM
MY OWN.”
EX NOVO BREWER JAKE BLUMENFELD

2 EX NOVO

S tirred by a local justice conference he attended in 2012,

home brewer Joel Gregory developed a novel business idea:
Sell beer without making a penny — or, more exactly, start a
brewery that donates all of its profits to meaningful causes.
And that’s just what Ex Novo has done. Since launching in 2014,
the brewery has supported its first four causes (Friends of the
Children, International Justice Mission, Impact NW and Mercy Corps)
with hundreds of volunteer hours, product for fundraisers and
$30,000 in donations as of 2017.

TRAVELPORTLAND.COM
“When we took a step back to think about what we wanted to be, I didn’t
see any reason why the values should deviate from my own: a commitment
to generosity and giving, even when it’s a bit of a sacrifice,” says Gregory.
“We built that into the model and made it part of the brewery’s DNA.”
Also in the DNA — exceptional beers and food. Set just a few
blocks from the Moda Center, the family-friendly pub pours an ever-
evolving mix of funky, seasonal and one-off brews (sours, farmhouse
ales, black lager, barleywine) along with a few flagships. “We obsess
over that beer list,” Gregory says.
Be sure to order the carnitas street tacos and a pint of The Most
Interesting Lager in the World, a crisp Mexican lager with a hint of flaked
corn. “It never gets old,” Gregory says, “even in the winter.” The season-
al menu has vegetarians covered — think beet Reubens and persimmon
bruschetta. For dessert? A beer milkshake, of course.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING AT CENTRAL CITY COFFEE
3 CENTRAL CITY C0FFEE
W hat if you could
help people af-
fected by poverty
and addiction gain transferable job
skills and support their families simply
by drinking a killer cup of craft coffee?
Enter Central City Concern (CCC),
a Portland nonprofit that has been
working to end homelessness since
1979. Inspired by successes with their
TRAVELPORTLAND.COM
other social enterprises (e.g., a bed
bug–resistant furniture line), in 2012,
CCC participated with Portland State
University’s Social Innovation Incubator.
That’s where the idea to create a com-
prehensive coffee production company
was born.
“Central City Coffee is a six-month
jobs training program for single parents
— all women so far — who live in our
family housing,” explains Sarah Porter,
CCC’s social enterprises program
manager. “From collecting orders and
roasting beans to delivery, outreach
and more, our participants literally run
28
the business.” So far, 25 graduates
have landed stable full-time jobs at the
likes of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, Vibra Speciality
Hospital and even within CCC. Others
have enrolled in college courses, and,
perhaps most inspiring, some have also
regained custody of children from rela-
tives or foster care.
Central City Coffee plans to open its
own coffee cart downtown (“More jobs
and more skills!” Porter says), but for
now, beans can be found at the South
Waterfront, Lloyd and Moreland farmers
markets and specialty grocery stores
like New Seasons, Whole Foods and
Green Zebra.
Be sure to snag a bag of Velocity,
an easy-drinking medium roast with
sweet notes of caramel, cinnamon
and pear. The beans are sourced from
Coocentral, a Colombian coffee co-op
with a strong commitment to social
welfare and the environment.

renowned dining scene.

It’s only fitting that a city with a plant-based nickname — the City of Roses — is a haven of
meat-free eating. In fact, CNN, Condé Nast Traveler and US News & World Report have all
declared Portland one of the most vegan/vegetarian-friendly destinations in the country,
if not the world. But even omnivores can enjoy the fresh, flavorful plant-based cooking
coming out of the city. Simply approach these celebrated local eateries with an open mind,
and you’ll soon be chowing down on seasonal produce, inventive tasting menus and family

What’s open?
At press time, more than 140 miles (225

including the popular Multnomah Falls,
Horsetail, Ponytail and Triple Falls loop,
Eagle Creek Trail and Historic Columbia

DAY 1 Begin your gorge adventure
at Vista House (40700 E.
Historic Columbia River
Hwy.; vistahouse.com). Opened in 1917, this
architectural marvel provides a windswept
overlook of the gorge’s towering 4,000-foot
(1,219 m) cliffs. Inside, a trove of historical
exhibits and regional artwork illuminates
a fascinating history. The WPA-era
Bonneville Lock and Dam (nwp.usace.
army.mil/bonneville) draws families for
educational tours of the original power
house and viewing windows of the salmon
and sturgeon fish ladders. The Columbia
Gorge Sternwheeler (portlandspirit.com)
offers a unique way to tour the gorge: a
sightseeing cruise that includes history of
both Oregon and Washington states.
In Cascade Locks, the Easy Climb
Trail (cascadelocks.com) provides
beginner-friendly mountain biking.

Thunder Island Brewing (515 S.W.
Portage Rd., Cascade Locks; 971.231.4599;
thunderislandbrewing.com) nestled on
the banks of the Columbia River.
DAY 2 Hood River is famed
for its windsurfing and
kiteboarding, but the
town’s walkable, shop-filled streets offer
plenty of leisurely pursuits. Visit Pine

featuring a stunning variety of art from
both well-known and up-and-coming
local artists.
Water (and wind) lovers should drop
into Big Winds (207 Front St., Hood
River; 541.386.6086; bigwinds.com)
for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP),
wind- and kite-surfing gear, rentals
and lessons. Road bike enthusiasts will

DAY 1 About an hour’s drive
northwest of Portland, the
forest retreat of Vernonia

timber-loaded trains. Today, this tranquil

Douglas firs and over the Buxton Trestle,
a breathtaking rail relic rising 80 feet
(24 m) above Mendenhall Creek. Bring

Situated in downtown McMinnville’s
historic district, the new Atticus Hotel
(375 Ford St.; 503.472.1975;
atticushotel.com) is just steps from
some of the region’s best tasting
rooms, restaurants and boutiques.
Independently owned and operated,
the four-story hotel, decorated with
local art and furnishings, has 36 rooms,
each with a fireplace. Accommodations
include studios, one-bedroom suites, a
two-bedroom penthouse and a luxury
bunkhouse for six, ideal for group
getaways. Charge up your electric car
before exploring wine country, borrow
one of the complimentary Dutch bikes,
or stay in and enjoy seasonally driven
food and drinks in the hotel’s spacious
restaurant.

Maysara Winery (maysara.com) are
three producers making these juicy,
approachable and affordable wines.
But there’s also been a recent explosion
in more refined méthode champenoise
wines, thanks to the Radiant Wine
Company’s mobile unit. The company
brings the equipment and expertise to
wineries like Ponzi (ponziwines.com),
Raptor Ridge (raptorridgewinery.com)
and ROCO (rocowinery.com), making it
easier for winemakers to offer bubblies.
Take a hike
You can enjoy a guided hike at several
Willamette Valley wineries, including A Night with the Bard
Anne Amie (anneamie.com), Patton Pair live productions of Shakespeare
Valley (pattonvalley.com) and Sokol with balmy outdoor air, stellar wines and
Blosser (sokolblosser.com). Generally gorgeous views and what do you get? A

Dive into SparkLING WINES
A surge of interest in natural wines
created a new wave of pét-nats
(short for pétillant naturel), which
are sparklers made in the low-tech
méthode ancestrale style (the wines are
bottled before they finish fermenting).
Day Wines (daywines.com), Johan
Vineyards (johanvineyards.com) and
hikes visit the very grapes destined
for the next vintage and enlighten
you on everything from geology to
farming practices. The hikes include
wine tasting and, often, lunch at the
end. Patton Valley’s hike coincides
with harvest and offers the chance to
participate in harvest activities with
the winemaker.

treat when you hit one of Willamette

a series of wineries every weekend in
August. The company’s performances are
done in partnership with the Portland
Actors Ensemble and are always free,
family-friendly and open to the public.

Get hip to Portland’s best hip-hop artists, showcases and shops. BY JENNI MOORE
O
nce an underground phenomenon, Portland’s hip-
hop culture has burst into the mainstream thanks
to breakout local acts like The Last Artful, Dodgr,
whose 2017 album Bone Music received praise
from Pitchfork, and Aminé, who racked up more than
200 million YouTube views with his hit single “Caroline.”
Portland even has an official Hip-Hop Day (Oct. 15). The
scene has come a long way.
P H OTO G R A P H B Y TO J O A N D R I A N A R I VO
In spite of a tumultuous history that included
discrimination (in the form of local law enforcement
targeting hip-hop and rap shows) and marquee venue
closures, Portland hip-hop has flourished. That’s thanks in
part to a mix of veteran performers and an infusion of new
talent that appears at regular hip-hop showcases around
town. The Thesis, organized by former rapper and We
Out Here Magazine editor-in-chief Mac Smiff, happens
every first Thursday of the month at Kelly’s Olympian

perfect sense once

the Portland Opera A La Cart
(portlandopera.com/alacart)
program.
Inspired by the city’s prodigious
food cart scene — and a hunger
TRAVELPORTLAND.COM
for sharing opera culture in
unexpected ways — the Portland
Opera now presents impromptu
productions run out of a converted
popcorn truck. This stage on wheels
launched in 2016, enabling up to
40 appearances each spring and
summer. Such mobility allows the
opera to break out of its theater
walls (and traditional winter
season) and find ready-made crowds
at popular attractions around town,
like food cart pods, farmers markets
74 and the Portland Saturday Market.
Performances run from June to
August; visit portlandopera.com/
alacart for schedule.
“We wanted to reach people in
places they already are, to bring
the opera to them,” says Clare
Burovac, Portland Opera’s director
of artistic operations.
Once on-site, the truck, which
was created in collaboration with
Portland State University design
students, is transformed into a
compact performance venue,
complete with a fold-out stage
and piano. Patrons can even order
a tune: A chalkboard menu lists
a daily selection of arias to be
performed on the spot by a trio
of singers. Popular numbers like
“Some Enchanted Evening” and
“Over the Rainbow” are served
fresh and complimentary.
“People are surprised by it,” says
Burovac. “They’ll stop, they’ll listen
to an aria, and say, ‘I didn’t think I
liked opera, but I really like this.’”

NIGHTLIFE
The Queen of Drag
The world’s oldest performing drag queen holds court in the Rose City.
BY LAUREN KERSHNER
A
night at Darcelle XV Showplace (208 N.W. Third
Ave.; 503.222.5338; darcellexv.com) hits you like
a cannonball of glitter. How else to describe the
cavalcade of sequin-drenched drag queens who
routinely dazzle crowds at the nation’s longest-running
drag show?
P H OTO G R A P H C O U R T E S Y DA R C E L L E X V
Now in its 50th year, the club’s Vegas-style cabaret
routine owes its enduring charm (and boundless
energy) to “Darcelle” (a.k.a. Walter Cole), who has been
headlining at the Old Town landmark since 1974 — a
feat that has earned Cole the title of “Guinness World
Records’ Oldest Performing Drag Queen.”
“I’m proud of it,” Cole says of his longtime reign. “I
don’t even mind saying I’m 87.”
But it’s his deeper connection to the community
that really sparkles. Cole’s alter ego, Darcelle (named
in honor of ’50s film star Denise Darcel), is a beloved
ambassador for the LGBTQ+ community. From TRAVELPORTLAND.COM
headlining in gay pride parades to starring in the Netflix
documentary Queen of Hearts and serving as the 15th
empress of the Imperial Sovereign Rose Court — an
organization raising money for charities since the 1980s
AIDS crisis — Darcelle has helped further acceptance for
gay lives.
Still, the stage is Cole’s first true love. Despite nearing
90, he still performs as Darcelle four nights a week
(sewing most of the costumes himself ), and whether it’s a
Prince tribute or a Rocky Horror Picture Show sing-along,
Darcelle’s platform heels have hardly slowed a step.
So, just how long will the show go on?
“When I can’t do what I do, I’ll let someone else take 77
my spot,” says Cole. “But right now, they don’t dare.”

High Points
These city hikes deliver in-town wilderness and outstanding views. BY BRIAN BARKER
M
ount Hood has inspired countless climbers and
hikers over the years. But you don’t have to trek to
the mountain to reach a lofty summit. Here are some
high-climbing treks that deliver bite-size adventures
and stellar views inside city limits.
For a boot-powered excursion to Portland’s highest point, head
to Marquam Nature Park (S.W. Marquam St. & Sam Jackson
Park Rd.; portlandparks.org). Tucked away at the base of a tree-
lined ravine, this 178-acre (72 hectare) green space offers 7 miles
(11 km) of trails surrounded by dense foliage. These trails lead to
Council Crest Park, which tops out at 1,073 feet (327 m) and
provides dazzling mountain and city views.
On the city’s east side, Mt. Tabor Park (S.E. 60th Ave. &
Salmon St.; portlandparks.org) reigns supreme at 630 feet
(192 m). A series of self-guided nature walks circle this extinct
volcano, leading to historic reservoirs, towering trees and a
P H OTO G R A P H B Y N A S H C O
panoramic view of downtown high rises backed by the rugged
West Hills — great for sunsets.
Farther east, Powell Butte Nature Park (16160 S.E. Powell
Blvd.; 503.823.7529; portlandparks.org) rises just over 600
feet (182 m) and is filled with 611 acres (247 ha) and 8 miles
(13 km) of trails for hiking, mountain biking and horse riding.
The paved Mountain View Trail stretches just shy of 1 mile
(1.6 km) to the top of the butte, where a mountain viewfinder
helps identify a series of cascade peaks, including Mount
Hood, Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens.
For one last frame-worthy shot of town, follow the Wildwood
Trail to Portland’s historic Pittock Mansion (3229 N.W. Pittock
Dr.; 503.823.3623; pittockmansion.org) via the Lower Macleay
Trail. This heart-pumping endeavor climbs 800 feet (243.8 m)
in 2.5 miles (4 km), ending with an unforgettable vista of the
Portland skyline set against the backdrop of Mount Hood.

expertly charred and bubbly, but don’t miss signature pies,
such as the Imperial (fried chicken, pickles, honey and hot
