Bellingham, Mt Vernon, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia all have things to do in them that would justify a stop. I'm curious why you aren't already spending at least one night in Seattle, given its similarities with Portland in size and things to do.

Bring your mace, Portland has gotten really dangerous.

I agree. Last time we took the Amtrak down, Courthouse square had become like East Hastings in Vancouver BC like something out of Robocop. Nutjobs howling at the moon and tweekers fucking with you at the food truck courts. 0/10. But I don’t think you can get through Customs with mace. Just buy some when you get into Portland at a sporting goods store, and shitcan it before you try to cross back.

Mace and pepper spray are illegal in Canada.
