Top Portland Shopping Destinations November 3, 2007

Bridgeport Village

Bridgeport Village is like a mall turned inside out. Despite the wet weather of the Northwest, Bridgeport draws a steady crowd of people everyday. There are several shops like Banana Republic, BCBG, Coach, Cole Haan, The Container Store, Crate & Barrel, Z-Gallery, Eileen Fisher, Patrick James, MAC ( Cosmetics), Tommy Bahama, and many more that line the paths of Bridgeport Village.

It houses the second location of Carl Greve and the only Product store in the Portland area. It also lodges PF Changs, SinJu, and California Pizza Kitchen, among others.   And…Bridgeport Village has the largest Regal Cinema in the state with an IMAX theater.  So you can do your shopping, grab a bite to eat and then see the newest movie that has hit the big screen!

Washington Square

Washington Square has gone through several major changes over the years. Remember when Nordstrom was on the other side of the mall? In addition to the old mall standbys; Sears, Macy’s, and Nordstrom, a new branch of the mall is home to Pottery Barn Kids, Williams Sonoma, Chico’s, Sephora, Abercrombie and Fitch, Bebe and the ever-packed Cheese Cake Factory.

Pioneer Place

There are only a few reasons to go to the Pioneer Place area; Saks Fifth Avenue, Mario’s, Nordstrom, a large Banana Republic and there is a new Carl Greve that is down the street from their previous location.
Unfortunately, at times Pioneer Square is an uncomfortable block to walk with the panhandlers constantly haranguing you for “spare change.”
