An umbrella would be smart, but a jacket with a hood will work perfectly well. Sweaters year-round, decent sneakers, sandals for summertime (last part of July/first of August). Here, dressy typically means GAP-wear and casual says "I Was Cleaning My Garage Today;" we're pretty low-key people. If a place wants you to wear a tie, they'll say so up front. Whatever you use to keep your hair looking just so, pack it in your tote bag because you may be caught in a bit of rain - which means either a wet head or crushed hair from a hood. But don't discount sunscreen because the sun does shine, even through the sprinkles. And lip balm is always good. We have lots of lovely things you'll want to remember seeing (and you can get great shots of you with Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, and the Columbia River in the background), so bring that camera. Just about every drugstore here will download & print digital pictures for you. Tons of places to camp & hike, and you can play all along the banks of the Columbia River. However, it is usually chilly in the woods (and always frigid in the river) so gloves & hat are a good idea.
