Portland also has the most strip clubs per capita in the US.
Oregon is also one of the few states to serve full alcohol WITH FULL NUDITY....
Drink up....Stars & The Dolphin have the best looking gals...

I have a 4.5 hour layover connecting international to domestic. Is that enough time for me to leave the airport and do anything interesting in Portland?

Don't even tell me the first best thing you've eaten are fish tacos. Yuck!

You could hop on the MAX, taking about 38 min to Burnside/Skidmore Fountain to enjoy Voodoo Donuts. Then stump town coffee close by then have lunch/dinner at one of the restaurants like others recommended. Lunch at the Little Bird is great. Owned by the same people of Le Pigeon. Drink at Henry Tavern's, Deschutes brewery or Bridgeport in the Pearl.

I would drive up to Mt. Hood and have lunch/dinner at Timberline Lodge, it is a hour from the airport. For all day Sunday, head to the coast.

Timberline is definitely worth seeing too. Pretty amazing when you get up to the snow line, although a lot is melted by this time of year.

I know this is dorky, but do I have time to see the homages to Beverly Clearly in the area around Klickitat Street/Grant Park? On Google Maps it doesn't seem very far.

I had no idea Portland was so nice. My daughter, used to be a FA for Mesaba, told me about Voodoo doughnuts. I am flying in early because the fare is much cheaper. Also, Oregon is the ONLY state of all 50 that I have not visited. Interestingly, I will be returning in June, with my wife, for another meeting.
