by Rob Levy, Prudential Northwest Properties

The Portland Saturday Market is in full swing! On Saturdays from 10 am-5 pm and on Sundays from 11 am- 4:30 pm you can make your way to Southwest Portland at North Waterfront Park and Ankeny Plaza for food, music, art and much more. Whether you are a family or a single looking to shop and mingle, the market offers a full day of fun, food, music and art. If the 38th season of the event follows the past 37, it won’t disappoint the growing number of supporters and visitors who have helped make it what it is today.

Each year the Saturday Market runs throughout Spring, Summer and Fall. This year the Market will end December 24th.

Portland Listed as Kipplinger "Comeback City"

Tuesday, April 12, 2011
by Rob Levy, Prudential Northwest Properties

As the US comes out of the recession, it seems some areas are doing better than others and Kipplinger this week gave some encouraging news when it picked the top 11 cites in the USA to make a comeback, it listed Portland, Oregon as one of them.   The full article can be READ BY CLICKING HERE

Also good news for the Pacific Northwest is Seattle was also on the list.   The Portland area is prime for a comeback according to Kipplinger due to the investment in clean energy, and the high tech field.  There have been many solar power companies putting facilities here, and Intel (the states largest private employer) announced it is bringing 1000 new jobs too.  These jobs tend to be well paying, and bring in an educated workforce.

Portland's location as a city of about 2.25m people and next to a state of 37m people (California) seems poised for more growth once the economy improves, and this is a great step in the right direction.
