Good job, dedicated Portland citizen. If you’re getting this, it means you’re already one of the most informed + connected Rose City residents (or at least you’re about to be).

We are PDXtoday — your new go-to for navigating all things Portland. Whether you’re walking the dog, still in bed, on the way to work, or sipping your morning coffee, your life as a smart, engaged Portlander just got a little bit easier.

Here’s what you can expect. ➡️

We’ll share what you need to know in Portland + in the metro area each day — from ranking the best dishes at a new restaurant to providing inspiration for date night — so you can wake up, read one (free) email, learn something new and move forward with your day. We call that a win.

Because you’re an early subscriber ➡️

We’re giving you a sneak peek into what we’re working on. Here’s what you’ll find in our upcoming newsletters:

February PlanAhead calendar. Surprise! We’ve already published it. Find it here. Each month you can utilize our curated event calendar to find the best ways to fill all of your days around town — from shows to seminars. 🗓️
If you are interested in giving a pet a forever home, we’ve got tips and of course adorable + adoptable fur babies.
Love exploring for waterfalls + mountain views in the Great Outdoors? We’re trekking the trails so you know what to expect.
We will be diving into Portland’s real estate market + helping you scout out (or daydream about) your future home. 🏡
And of course, we can’t do our job thoroughly without mentioning music. Stay tuned for a feature on some of Portland’s rockin’ record stores. 🎶

Additionally, we’ll be chatting with you about Forest Park’s new conservation easement, the history of Stark’s Vacuum Museum (ironically, it doesn’t suck), and some of the best brunch spots in town. 🥞
