Well, Oregon has no sales tax on items bought, so many people from Washington State that live near Oregon do their shopping in Portland.
Pioneer Square area is the hub for shopping with Nordstroms next to it, A&F, Columbia Sportswear, two shopping malls all within a few blocks .
well, items are in general at least about 8.8% cheaper then Seattle, because of the sales tax, and around christmas and the day after thanksgiving(huge shopping day) and christmas are massive sale days.
If your traveling and need new clothes, those two days are great, if your in the area. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Broadway street, Morrison, Yamhill are the main streets for shopping. At pioneer square there are tourist maps inside the small tourist info center, next to the waterfalls

 Pioneer Square by bhorton
There's plenty to see at Pioneer Square, and personally, I like Sacks Fifth Ave. or Marios, all 3 downtown.
Designer clothes at Marios or Sacks, ethnic or liberal clothes can be found in the Pearl District. What are liberal clothes? I don't know, I just made it up.

 Blue State by mcpangie
I had to laugh at this one, "Stop Honking, I'm On the Cell Phone, Damn It!". Not enough to slap a $3.00 bumpersticker on my truck's clearcoat finish, but it was funny.
Even funnier... A few weeks ago in Portland a woman drove off one of the many bridges while she was talking on her phone. She wasn't hurt. But, she admitted that was why she drove off the bridge. Takes all kinds. This is a shop for the "all kinds". They advertise themself as "cutting edge". Leave a Comment

 Billboards On Buildings by mcpangie
A handful of years ago, Beaverton, OR (just up the road a hop, skip, and a jump up 26) had some of the best prices for vehicles in the nation... no sales tax in Oregon. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Shop around the world in
downtown Portland! by VdV
The absence of sales tax in Oregon makes this shop a real bargain for someone like me (a California resident, where I pay 8.25% in sales tax!)
There is such a variety of items, that it is difficult to recommend what to buy. What I can recommend is to pay the store a visit, and see what strikes your fancy.
Again, no sales tax for those of you who come from states or countries with sales or GST taxes. Compared to similar items that I find in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA, the prices are comparable. The selection is the real draw.

 Oregon Historical Society
Museum Store in Portland by glabah, 4 more photos
These days, however, the museum store has relocated to its present spot at southwest Broadway and Madison. There is far more space here, and the collection of materials available for purchase is now far beyond the historical information books that used to be their largest collection.
Don't get me wrong: their historical books are usually interesting and there is still quite a collection for sale here. However, you will also be able to purchase quite an assortment of items well beyond books.
The store is on the southwest corner of the intersection of Southwest Broadway and Morrison, but the entire block is dedicated to the Oregon Historical Society museum. Only a small part of the facility is the museum store, however. The west side of the block (the museum entrance but not the museum store) faces the South Park Blocks, and across the park blocks and one block north is the Portland Art Museum main entrance.
See Also: Oregon Historical Society Museum under "Things to Do"
The URL below is to the Oregon Historical Society web site, which includes a bit of information about the store.
How about a few miniature totem poles or other Native American materials?
Or glass ornaments?
There is a reasonably good assortment of Portland and Oregon post cards and various other Oregon memorabilia available here.
The 150th Anniversary of Oregon Statehood Blanket is made by Oregon's own Pendleton company, but there were only a few produced, and the current asking price for them is in the four digit range.
Unfortunately, you will have to pay whatever the price tag says to pay - there isn't any negotiation over price in this store. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Broadway & Madison (near art museum)Directions: Broadway street is the north-south street on the west side of Pioneer Courthouse Square. Go south about 8 blocks, or take a southbound bus or train on 6th and walk 1 block west.Website: http://www.ohs.org/
