About Portland
Oregon's largest city, where the Willamette meets the Columbia River, about 100 km inland from the Pacific. Timber, shipping and later electronics built it.
Population about 2,226,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Portland is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
