Curious to know about more Local Guides here in the Portland or Willamette Valley Area. I am sure there are some experts out there that could educate the newbs ;o)
Respond with an introduction and your location? Maybe how long you have been doing the Local Guides thing?
thanks,
Heather
Welcome, @HD ! I’ve never been to Portland and know you’re looking to meet other folks but in the meantime, I’d love to know, what are your top five places for first-time visitors? It can be anything, food, drink, tourist site, street art, etc.! 
Hi I am in Tigard area, still a noob my self. But I am becoming more active in the area. Nice to meet you.
