“Exactly what I was expecting! So many options! Very sweet attendant! Handled my overenthusiastic family very gracefully. Found my rehearsal dinner dress for only $50!? Crazy awesome and for a really great cause.”
“Found my dress here! The experience was amazing and more than I imagined and thought! The volunteers here were friendly and understanding.
I can't express how happy I am that once I got there I was not nervous or scared to try on dresses. They made it easy for me and my bridal party to pick and try on as many dresses as I could!
Thank you Adorned in Grace!!”
“Nordia HouseHome of Ollie Bollie the troll.Famous troll artist Thomas Dambo brings his creation to Portland and Nordia House is the location.In addition to Ollie Bollie, Nordia House has beautiful grounds to walk and wonderful exhibits inside .Be sure to check out the cafe with a slice of Nordic cuisine and drink. The fresh daily soups are fantastic and the charcuterie plate has many delightful items to fill you up.”
“Staff were very friendly and it had a welcoming atmosphere! It is nice to have a place to look for random singular items instead of buying a larger amount when I only need one thing. Also their craft kits are really fun!”
“Other than the pick up/drop off traps and your fur friend(s) times leaving you in the middle of rush hour traffic I don't have much to complain about. The people here are providing a great service. They care about the animals safety & health not to mention the communities they live in. I totally recommend the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon in SW Portland”
“I love the book corner. I visit every weekend and I'm never disappointed. Such friendly and great staff, wonderful prices (can't beat it) and it's in such a cute area. I love that all of the proceeds go back to the local library.”
“Great job curating and displaying a really important part of Portland history. There is a great exhibit by the artist Bong Wai Chen. The staff are great and welcoming to the public, letting people know the important forgotten history”

“We have stayed here multiple times with our daughter. She loves going there and we love it because it is one less thing we need to worry about when she needs to be at the hospital. We live almost 2 hours away so it's great for those early morning appointments.”
“Everything about the adopting experience was great! They really seem to care about finding successful matches and know a lot about their cats' personalities and have a balanced approach to vetting potential adopters. The people were also super nice!”
“I love this place. Libraries are great places in general. What I appreciate about this particular branch is the small town feel you get from interacting with the staff. Yes, I can self checkout but sometimes I want to say, “Hello,” to a familiar face. Some of the staff have known my adult kids since they were little (coming in for story time) and they still inquire about them.The quality of being known and treated like a neighbor and friend is a gift and much appreciated.”
“Beautiful new space, spacious community areas, helpful staff and a lovely selection of books and other gifts. I'm looking forward to the opening of the coffeehouse on-site soon. Such a welcome addition to the community!”

“Behold, one of the great places responsible for my healthy weight, something I've gotten to enjoy for the first time in my life. All my life, I have struggled with being underweight, to varying degrees, and after a while, began to think that was simply how I was. After arriving in Portland, in just a month, I gained 7 pounds, and that's something I've struggled with even while trying weight training, protein drinks, and over indulging in calories.The healthy food here makes a difference. A salad, fruit, and a meal changed my life, one meal at a time. The love can be felt in abundance, and the people volunteering to serve these meals are some of the kindest heroes. It's amazing to see this, and I wish this level of heroic strength, open-mindedness, and generosity was across this nation.Even beyond the food, these volunteers sometimes provide care packages that handle much needed essentials, from wound care to hygiene, and the ever elusive gloves. I hope that it is known that the kind messages and sweet stickers put on these care packages are uplifting and supportive, offering optimism and hope through difficult times and moods. Thank you all!”
“Inquired about renting the place for a quinceanera, not only did we get a great price for the rental but they also cater and offer clean-up , everything at a very reasonable price around 12-1300.00 for 6-7 hrs of use plus they have a bar with bartender , clean restrooms and video gaming room too, dance floor,stage tables and chairs everything you'll need in a cozy friendly atmosphere with pro service's , we highly recommend American Legion Post 180 and we ourselves will keep coming here first for all our family gatherings, thank you Leeann !”
“"Portland Center Stage is an exceptional venue that hosts a range of captivating plays. Its offerings tend to lean towards the sophisticated & snoopy, which, while impressive, might not resonate with everyone. It would be fantastic to see them introduce plays that are a bit more accessible to the general public. Making the themes and narratives easier to grasp could help attract a broader audience, ensuring more people can enjoy the magic of live theater. Regardless, it remains a top spot for those who appreciate high-quality productions.”

“Whether beginning a new life path or wanting to increase your knowledge of a purposeful life, this Center is absolutely a fantastic vehicle to accomplish either goal.”
“Great place. Several program options. Yoga, skating, swimming, bb, gym etc. Bottle water, towels, snacks available for purchase. Great front desk staff and trainers (Allen Beebe - Excellent). Friendly.”
“This is an excellent event space for certain conferences and such. It's clean, easy to get to, and the people running the place are super nice, friendly, and helpful.”
“This is a great place to live for all veterans and their families. They assign you a room and social worker. This is not shelter, it's more like temporary housing for veterans and their families. This place has rules, classes and two square meals. If you can follow these simple rules, you can change your life for the positive. With being around with fellow veterans, helps with counseling, socializing, and getting things done in life and in Oregon.”

“i reached out when my baby was 4 months old with a prescription but the head person in that department at that time refused me service and discouraged me to be on the waitlist. she passed me along to their other location in Montana, where i was paying over 120 dollars for shipping. my husband lost his job and i recently tried to call back asking for help and no one has returned my call for months.*update* after i left a review, leslie reached out to me from this location- she was very receptive and kind to want to assist me. at this point i had the best experience with jessica in the Montana location since she was able to help me and my baby for the longest time.i am thankful for this organization and wish them well.”
“I love this place! Though at times the volunteers are disconnected from the customers. I've noted my times when assistance has been needed. And seen a large number of customers leave due to the fact that help is few and far between!The Forest Grove site is a disaster that's already happened, and again the staff are Curt and available most times.”
“Absolutely wonderful Library! Very clean and well kept. Helpful and knowledgeable employees. BUT, don't bother trying to use there scanning printing system. Outdated system with new tech spliced in, is simple a debacle to try and use, for patrons and employees alike, as it seems no one can nail down the best or even an exact way to utilize the system. It comes accross as "high tech" at first glance and yet you can only pay with coins or bills, no debit/credit card payments accepted. It is definitely not a user friendly set up. Try a Fedex, a family members printer or just buy a scanner/printer of your own.”
“It’s like a precious gem in the middle of Lake Oswego! This used book store is similar to Powells except all the books are reasonably priced, it’s super clean, tons of genres to choose from. The staff is extra friendly and helpful. I love this store!”
“I went in on a Tuesday and bought a beautiful couch. It was half off the listed price as Tuesdays are senior discount days. The staff was super friendly. When I went to pick it up after renting a van from HD I was surprised to find that they deliver as well! The store manager and his helper Hugo loaded it up, drove the van for me, moved my old couch out and brought the new one in!! The Union Gospel thrift store puts 100% back to the community. To me that's the best part.”
“A dedicated staff of volunteers who are willing to provide the endless hours needed to help those in need make the variety of services offered here possible. The patience and dedication they demonstrate on a daily basis is truly amazing. Their non judgemental sincere concern and caring is evidence of their commitment to every individual who walks in their door asking for assistance. Instead of feeling like you are being given a handout based on pity you leave with the feeling someone honestly just wanted to give you a hand up and that they understand everyone goes through hard times. Whether it is a food box, counseling or one of the other many services they provide it is the individuals who selflessly commit their time who make this place truly special.”
“Great spot to recycle old electronics safely + efficiently. Not a brick and mortar store anymore, which is disappointing, but glad they are keeping employees away from COVID, which is still rampant. Hope what we donate can be used to help someone in need. Cheers ??PS: a Community Center with Digital Navigators to help people use internet services?? Amazing!!! Ok now I want to volunteer”
“Extremely helpful staff so far every agent I have spoken with speaks clearly is attentive and assists in what seems to be anyway possible. I recommend these people if you're looking for support and help.”
“Really friendly people. Not judgmental. A little tight at dinner time, but they seem to be doing there best with the space available. And the food they serve is good. Thank you guys.”
“TRK staff and crew are always kind, helpful and set us up so easily each time. Materials, gear and craft are all well-maintained and enable us to enjoy the river at our leisure each time.”
