Using the Light Rail System
It is a short drive from the airport to downtown Portland, or you can travel by light rail train which runs every 15 minutes. The train stops just 1/2 block away from the Portland Office. From there, it is just a few short steps to our front door.
- Get off the train. The light rail train stops at Pioneer Place, a large shopping mall. The conductor will announce the stop, so listen closely!
- Cross the Street. Cross the street in front of the light rail train. Across the street is the NIKE store.
- Find the Fat Cat. About midway down the block is a statue of a fat cat. Directly opposite the cat is our front door.
- Our Front Door. Here is the main entrance of the 620 building (see the fat cat?). The Portland Office is in Suite 810, 620 SW 5th Ave.
