Like our trip all over the state of South Carolina to capture an image of every Post Office in the state, the one for Oregon will differ in a couple ways. 1) We are thinking that we aren’t going to chase every single one in the bigger towns, like for instance, Portland’s 2 dozen. And 2) Every single one of them may not have the same automobile in the photos, it might be a Miata or it might be a Mini Cooper.
Pilot Rock to Saint Paul
Portland - 97201
Southwest Portland DCU - On this one, kind like the last one, I missed my first opportunity and had to drive a ways then turn around to get here. (12/1/24)
Portland - 97202
Sellwood Branch - I drove in the opposite direction and did a U-turn so I could pull right up front. (11/10/24)
Portland - 97203
Saint Johns - This post office looks a little old because the shopping center around it is full on new stores. (10/20/24)
Portland - 97204
Waterfront - Google maps led me from the Central Branch to this Post Office around the corner from where I am parked now, but there was no place to park. So I had to cross the Willamette River on the Hawthorne Bridge, turn around and cross back to get the photo. (12/1/24)
Portland - 97206
Creston - Drove right by the first time, but after circling the block I found my way into the parking area. (10/13/24)
Portland - 97206
Lents DCU - This Post Office seemed positively rural compared to the first 4 of the day, but it is still inside the big city limits. (12/1/24)
Portland - 97208
Portland- This is called Portland because it is the main post office for the big city and big it was. This photo shows a little more than half the building size. (10/20/24)

River District - This is one of the two downtown Post Offices I couldn't find back in October. (12/1/24)

Portland - 97214
East Portland - I literally drove right by this post office yesterday when I had some business to take care of at the county building. (10/13/24)
Portland - 97216

Kenton Station - In a nice little neighborhood of North Portland. (10/20/24)
Portland - 97219
Multnomah Branch - I was waiting for a car parked near the door to leave, but after 5 minutes I got out of the car and took a photo anyway. As soon as I got back in the Miata, the car left, so hopped back out and scored the clean shot. (11/24/24)
Portland - 97220
Big River - Almost all post offices get a name and for single post office towns it usually the town's name, but this is one of the roughly two dozen Post Offices that serve the city of Portland. (10/06/24)

Milwaukie Branch - Milwaukie is still a city, but the United States Postal Service calls it Portland. (11/10/24)

Portland - 97242
Brooklyn - Oddly enough this is listed as zip code 97202 on the USPS site. (10/13/24)

Portland- 97267
Oak Grove Branch - I was going to walk out to the street so I could get a shot that included the nice brick monument that had the name om it, but you couldn't see the car and not much of the post office itself. (11/10/24)
Prospect - 97536
Prospect wasn't much of a place, but then again a lot of the Post Offices we captured today were tiny little unincorporated communities. (9/8/2023)
Rainier - 97048
Rainier - This Post Office is identical looking to the one in Troutdale, only it is a nice shade of blue unlike Troutdale's wood tones. (11/03/24)
Redmond - 97756
A very large building befitting its town's growing population. Unfortunately they must have run out of money for any kind of signs for identifying the town. (07/02/22)
