@EllenInEdmonton That for that!
Regarding
#PDX (Portland), we start by suggesting
#BeerMongers and
#Apex (beer bars and bottle shops). Both have a plethora of local and exceptional beers.
Breweries are a bit tougher because has their charm. But
#UprightBrewing never disappoints, nor does
#ChuckanutBrewing (based out of Bellingham, Washington),
#GreatNotion (if you like confection-inspired beer or hazy ipas),
#BreaksideBrewery,
#CascadeBrewing (fruited source), and finally
#LivingHaus and
#WayfinderBeer.
For
#Seattle, we suggest
#PikeBrewing because it's one of the oldest and in the Pike Place Market,
#Cloudburst (2 locations),
#HolyMountainBrewing,
#FairIsleBrewing or
#StoupBrewing (or pretty much most in the
#Ballard area). But if you're focused on East Seattle, then
#RavennaBrewing,
#BurkeGilman,
#LaddAndLassB #GeorgetownBrewing, or
#BigTimeBrewing. Don't forget about bottle shops/draught-houses
#bottleworksbeer,
#ChucksHopShop,
#BrouwersCafe, and
#StumblingMonk (
#CapitolHill).
