Flight
Fly into the newly improved PDX airport! Without traffic, PDX is ~15 minutes to downtown Portland or ~30 minutes to the western suburb of Beaverton. It's an easy airport to call an uber from or rent a car. If you're feeling extra brave, you can take the Max train into town.
Hotel
We love McMenamin Hotels! This hotel is located in Downtown Portland near Powell's bookstore and shopping in the Pearl District. McMenamin's is a unique PNW experience worth checking out. The hotel has a great restaurant, underground bar called Al's Den, and a soaking pool for guests to enjoy (each guest is given a robe to wear). This is also very close to Jackson's favorite bar, Marathon Taverna, the bar he hopes everyone will go to following the welcome event.

Hotel
This hotel is in the heart of Portland's Eastside and is within walking distance to the reception at Cooper's Hall. Jupiter has two hotels: Jupiter Original and Jupiter NEXT. Jupiter Original is more rustic, small rooms- more like a motel. Check out the cute cocktail bar Hey Love - on the same block as the Jupiter.
Hotel
Hyatt House is located in downtown Beaverton - within walking distance of great food, fun bars, shopping, and an easy Max (train) ride into Portland. This hotel is five minutes from our house so maybe if you're lucky you can stop by and meet our little anxious pups (Kiwi and Cricket). This hotel is ~15 minutes from the Welcome Event and ~25 minutes to the Reception by car.
