Duties
Portland is a port city in the Pacific Northwest and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Rain or shine, you can take advantage of the city's proximity to nature by playing in the Willamette River, wandering through lush public parks and gardens, biking the city's 162 miles (261 km) of bike lanes and hiking trails both within city limits and in the nearby Columbia River Gorge.
