Pretty awesome video from Travel Portland, not sure why they focus on the damn freeways and traffic so much though.

Because it's a time-lapse video, and traffic looks great in that format. It makes Portland look vibrant and exciting.

Only one shot of a MAX train in a four minute video, though, doesn't give potential visitors the impression that they don't need to rent a car when they get here.

Good point...liked the video a lot but could have shown more streetcar and light rail action..

Local Portland musician (and a friend of mine) Pete Bosack deserves some great credit for the original score on this video. Really well done!

I really enjoyed this well produced video. Portland is adorable and all that good stuff.
