 | | Like other west coast ports such as San Francisco, California, Astoria, Oregon, and Port Townsend, Washington, Portland was home to frequent acts of shanghaiing. |
 | | Locals refer to these areas by their section names (such as "Northwest"), with the exception of "North Portland", for which the full name is typically used, although it is commonly called "The Portland Peninsula" or "The Peninsula" by the locals, and infrequently called "NoPo" by tourists from California or from the other "quadrants". |
 | | The Portland metropolitan area spans Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties, as well as parts of Columbia and Yamhill counties in Oregon, and Clark County in Washington. |
