PORTLAND, Ore. What it lacks in height, it makes up for in word count. Powell’s Books is a staple of Portland, the flagship store still stands tall on West Burnside Street.
“We re here because of Portland and because of the people here,” said Powell’s marketing coordinator Emily Brodowicz.

The fires were started between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. in the area between Northwest 17th and 23rd avenues, from Northwest Lovejoy to West Burnside streets, according to Portland Fire & Rescue.
One suspect, 52-year-old Andre Williams, was arrested on charges that include first and second-degree arson and reckless burning.
