The district is one of the oldest, largest, and most successful enhanced service districts in the nation. Initially founded in 1988 as an informal group of downtown property owners and managers, the Downtown Portland Clean & Safe District was later formalized in city code in 1991. The district underwent several renewals in the 1990s before Portland City Council decided to renew the district every 10 years in 2001.

“A city of makers—from ceramists to coffee roasters and sake purveyors—it`s also a dynamite place to shop. And with a breathtaking new, timber-roofed airport terminal, a can-do first-term mayor, and an ever-exciting mix of places to eat and drink, the city is crushing it."
@cntraveler said all this and more about Portland in their article highlighting the best places to eat, shop, and stay in PDX!
