Portland, Oregon, United States
Portland, OR
This city is interesting, the most European from american cities that I have visited. Reasonably priced Tram from airport to the city,USD2,05, in March'08. Choose you hotel next to tram line it is easy to arrive. Inner city public transportation is also for free.
For good city overview take a tram(cable car) to the top of the city. We walked down from there, giving interesting look into local neighborhood. City itself is also safe. I'm sure that it has it own areas which should be avoided.
Rent a car for a day or two to explore areas around. I did beautiful day trip to west coast over magnificiant mountains. Highway 6 to Tillamook and back via Cannon Beach Highway 26. Between those cities stop at Hug point and Tolovana Beach. Near Cannon Beach you can visit Oregon largest Spruce tree, some 3 meter wide and 60 tall.
For Air Museum fans there are 3 air museums in 100km radius. Tillamook, VAncouver, WA and ther "evergreen" with Howard Hughes Spruce Goose.
Oregon itself is shopper paradise. No sales tax! Great amount Ross Stores and Marshall's help to keep budget. More fancy shopping Lloyd Center, Cascades by airport and Columbia and North Face Stores in the city.

My current hometown.. Check out the Pearl District (as everyone else would say), great tax free shopping, you don't pump your own gas, and the food scene is pretty great! Check out Vodoo Doughnuts!

Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States
Great beaches. Haystack Rock is always a favorite, especially for Goonies fans. Very cute town, but can be pricey. I would suggest visiting, but not lodging if you are on a budget.
