For those of us living in Southwest, Washington, the fact that Portland, Oregon is a hop, skip and a jump away, is a serious perk. This month, Portland is being recognized nationally, as Travel + Leisure magazine has named Portland, Oregon as the Greenest City in America.
Did you know that Portland is a quarter covered by trees, or that there are 288 parks in the city? The mass transit system, as well as the cycling culture are a couple other reasons why Portland ranks number one on the list.
