'''Portland, OR''' (not to be confused with Portland, ME) is Oregon's largest city and a major city of TheOtherRainforest. Portland is known for being almost as rainy as UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}} but twice as bizarre. Portland's nicknames include the [[FlowerMotifs City of Roses]], Stumptown, Portlandia, PDX, and "the place where young people go to retire". The residents are often stereotyped as [[{{Hipster}} hipsters]], [[GranolaGirl Granola Girls]], or [[NewAgeRetroHippie New Age Retro Hippies]]. It is, however, not ''quite'' as bizarre as Series/{{Portlandia}} would have you believe.
