Game shops in Portland, Oregon?

[Barendd Nobeard]

I'm travelling to Portland, Oregon in a few weeks. Any good gaming shops worth visiting while I'm there?

TIA

I haven't lived there since 1995 so its possible things have changed, but when I was growing up in Portland it suffered from a notable lack of gaming stores, good or bad.

I would make a point of going to Powell's, its a fantastic new and used bookstore. They have a reasonably good selection of RPG stuff, and the best selection of used books you'll find anywhere.

Powell's City of Books
1005 W Burnside
Portland, OR 97209 USA

Been a while since I lived therem but you have two Wizards of the Coast stores, one in Lloyd center, the other in Clackamas Town Center (the two largest Portland malls).

There are several good game shops in Portland (where I myself just recently moved).

There is Bridgetown Games, Something Out of this World (which is actually more of a comic book shop, but they've got plenty of games and other geek fodder) and Rainy Day Games.

The one that I like the best is Bridgetown:

Bridgetown Hobbies & Games
3350 Ne Sandy Blvd Portland OR 97232

Powell's is a Must!

I drove up to Portland from Eugene last weekend to attend the GameStorm convention. While I was there, we went to Powell's, and spent 5! hours there. They have a fair amount of gaming stuff, but beyond that, they have everything. The store is an entire city block!

On this occasion, I picked up a bunch of used stuff, including some novels, an artbook, the 2E Living City of Raven's Bluff sourcebook, a Neil Gaiman book (they have a sweet collection of graphic novels) and a bunch of other stuff. Me and a friend spent $100 not counting the mochas we got in the cafe.

They also ship new and used books:

Powells is great. Free shipping on orders over $50. I buy from their web site all the time. Can't wait to visit the "mother ship!"

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll check them out when I'm there.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Powell's was awesome. Bridgetown Hobbies was great.

And there is no longer a WotC store at Lloyd Center.
