Keep Portland Weird: Things to do in Oregon's City of Roses

Tampa International Airport is beefing up its West Coast lineup with expanded nonstop service to Portland, Oregon!

Alaska Airlines will soon operate its first-ever daily nonstop flights between TPA and PDX. Previously, the airline offered this route on Saturdays only. The increased service will be available through March 28, 2027.

While Portland's rainy season is in full swing during those months, the Pacific Northwest's famously mild winters and evergreen scenery make it a refreshing change of pace from the Gulf Coast. If you're thinking about planning a winter or early spring getaway, this quirky city and the surrounding area offer plenty of fun things to do.
