Grocery store that is walking distance

Closest grocery store (and my personal favorite). It is about half a mile from the house. Lots of options and has a great Deli grab and go section for pre-made foods.

Named after the Southern Thai City of Hat Yai near the Malaysian border, Hat Yai was inspired by the streetside fried chicken vendors and small curry and roti shops in Southern Thailand. This place is delicious but be careful, it can be spicy so if you are not into that be sure to let the server know. Also it is close to the house. They have several locations now but the one closest to us is on NE Killingsworth street.

Do you love trees? I personally love walking/ hiking the arboretum because not only is it gorgeous but they have plaques on all the trees so you get to know what kind of tree they are and where they are from. This is close to Washington Park and NOT WALKING distance from the house. You will need a car of public transportation to get here. Either way it is a must, especially in the summer/fall.

Famous waterfall of Portland. It is NOT walking distance from the house and you will need a car or public transportation. If you have no access to a car we recommend CAT (Columbia Area Transit) it is a cool busing system to give folks tours of the hot spots along the Columbia River Gorge. All of our guests who have done it have given it a great review. A definite sightseeing must!
