Willamette Valley Wine Country
Tired of sitting in Highway 99 W traffic to get to wine country? We have a solution — take the scenic route. 🚗 https://bit.ly/3cqBfMt 📸 @bobmc + @thesettinginnwillamette | @gunnarsimonsen | @travelingfoodgirls | @findingtheresa | @jonilorainephotography + @abbeyroadfarm | @life_by_lubiccas | @jksmalls84 | @carterhiyama
Well, where do we start … For Portlanders and Seattleites, it’s easy to look out at the majestic mountain peaks + never-ending forests, shake hands, and ask “how did we get so lucky?” But, that camaraderie can only go so far. Things can get pretty contentious between the two cities — or at least very passive aggressive. When the Sounders and Timbers aren’t battling on the pitch for the Cascadia Cup, baristas are pushing the caffeine frontier to vie for the coffee town crown. So with the help of our frenemies over at @ourseatoday, we decided to put this rivalry to the test and go head to head in several categories. In the upper left corner we have the tenacious Emerald City, facing off against the plucky City of Roses. Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuuumble — oh no, sorry, didn’t mean to remind you about the Big One. Click the link in the bio to see how it played out. #PDXtoday // 📸 @irenemayphotography | @cadillaccafepdx | @dibblephoto + @voyseypdx | @heretodayphoto | @josandtree | @nomnomnicole + @deadstockcoffee | @portlandfarmers | @shannon_bager_photography | @travelguirre | @you_go_come_here
When you think about endangered species, it’s easy to picture exotic animals like pandas, sea turtles + tigers — but there are creatures that need our help right here at home. Species recovery has been a focus of the @oregonzoo’s work since the beginning. Over the decades, the zoo has played a part in helping advance the protection of polar bears, orangutans, and elephants; that focus evolved to include many local species over the past 20ish years — from pygmy rabbits to western pond turtles. We met up with Amy Cutting, the Oregon Zoo’s interim deputy director of animal care and conservation, to learn more about current programs and what the future holds. Read all about it at the link in our bio. #PDXtoday // 📸: PDXtoday staff | @oregonzoo | Michael Durham | Shervin Hess
Testing drinking water for lead in Portland, OR
If you live in an older Portland home, especially one built between 1970-1985, you may want to request a free test kit to see if there’s lead in your drinking water. 💧 We went through the process and it’s pretty simple. Just leave the water off overnight, and then collect a sample from the kitchen sink. The kit comes with plenty of helpful information, including ways to reduce your risk of lead exposure.
Drinks at Portland City Grill
