Get some drinks at the Doug Fir. Buy some books at Powells. Take the Portland underground tour. Downtown open studio every month I think for some good art thats affordable.

Go to El Pigeon for dinner - get there early or book well in advance. I heard Beast is good as well.
I second the Douglas Fir for a drink.
Stop by Canoe and shop their awesome collection of design objects.
Rent a bike and cruise around or go for a hike!

if you're in portland you have to go to Powell's - it's a staple, sorry if you hate books :) and then 23rd Ave is fun, it's a bunch of trendy cafes, restaurants and shops
Seattle is endless (small part of my heart is there) snoqualmie falls are beautiful, they're to the northeast of the city maybe 1/2 hour, try the new park to the north of the city by the space needle, and you must see the farmers market of course (go to Piroshky-Piroshky)
- I love books so I'm definitely going to check it out. Thanks for the Seattle tips, is the farmer's market open everyday?mgabella
- farmers market is everyday from 6am till 6pmish (restaurants are open later and weekends are later) - you can check the website out, it has all the vendors and what they sellmegE
