Home Town Highlight

This is a posting about some of the great things I have come across in the Pacific Northwest! For me, this mostly includes Seattle & Tacoma, Wa. where I grew up and currently live, as well as Portland, Or. where I lived for two years.

Living in Portland, there were so many amazing places to eat and drink my memory couldn’t keep up with this list. So, because at the time I was building a database for a survey project, I had the brilliant idea of creating my own personal database of food! haha

What was created is the following list taken from the original excel data sheet it was created in. As I worked on it, I added some fun additions like comments about features I most interesting, dishes to try, my own personal rating system as well as websites and locations.

This is by no means complete and is very much a work in progress, but I wanted to share this because I feel it is a great tool to finding where you want to go around Portland. I at least found it really concise and helpful :p So feel free to use it and make it your own and add to it and continue to share!
