Portland, Oregon, is one of the most amazing places to visit because of the sheer character of the city. Surely you've seen at least an episode of Portlandia, the sketch comedy series with Fred Armisen (formerly of Saturday Night Live) and Carrie Brownstein (formerly of a band called Sleater-Kinney). And if you haven't, you should; but if you really haven't, you at least must be aware of the reputation this town has in the hearts and minds of Americans. The weather in Portland might not be great, but even people on vacation to San Diego, widely considered one of the sunniest places in the country, occasionally encounter a solid week of "May gray" or "June gloom." In other words, the weather isn't a guarantee anywhere, so why not forget about it and head to a city with heart, soul, and a lot of fodder for your social media account. And you never know--you might end up with some of that rare, sunny weather you don't hear so much about when you hear about the Pacific Northwest.
