Creator's Key Takeaways
This is actually a great hotel.
We are really loving our walking around Portland Adventure.
The process was really fun. You stand in line and inside they're only keeping whatever they can handle at a time.
I'm impressed. I'm at the entrance and then as soon as we entered, first thing KZA said was that we're going to be here for a while because it is the largest independent bookstore in the world.

Starting with unusual—and sometimes outrageous—donut flavors, Voodoo quickly became a must-visit Portland landmark. The shop is famous for its bright pink boxes, eclectic decorations, and signature creations like the Voodoo Doll donut, Maple Bacon Bar, and the outrageous ”Oh Captain, My Captain!” donut. Voodoo Doughnut helped spark the nationwide artisanal donut movement, and today it has multiple locations across the U.S., but the original Portland shops remain the most iconic. 📚 History of Powell’s City of Books Powell’s City of Books opened in 1971, founded by Walter Powell, and it quickly became a beloved Portland institution. Located in the Pearl District, Powell’s occupies an entire city block and is recognized as the largest independent bookstore in the world. The flagship store contains over 1 million books, both new and used, organized into color-coded rooms that visitors can get lost in for hours. Powell’s is known for its commitment to independent bookselling, community events, author talks, and preserving the culture of reading in Portland and beyond.
