I haven't ever noticed economy being full, but long-term is frequently closed due to reaching capacity. The PDX website tracks how full the lots are, real time, so you can always check the website to see how much parking is left in each lot

yes, I've experienced it being full several times over the winter holidays and spring break. You can look online before you go to see the status though. PDX just raised all their parking rates though, so that might change things.

Do be careful with traffic. No idea what kind of mess it’ll be with the 84 closure, but on a good day traffic can be tough. MAX might be the best bet if you’re trying to get downtown for a few hours.

It’s not bad. I rarely wait more than 5 minutes in security. Maybe 10 if it’s super busy in the morning.
