Portland/Seattle Trip Help

[discogranny]

DH and I are flying into PDX in late July and spending 6 days in/around the area for vacation. This trip was born of a dinner that included far too much Willamette Valley Pinot Noir and we have plane tickets and nothing else at this point. Besides wines and wineries, we've thrown around fishing, kayaking, rafting, golfing, brewery tours, hiking and biking and visiting Seattle as ideas but have no actual plans.

Portland ladies - Any suggestions for what we shouldn't miss? Any specific breweries or wineries that are must visits? Any great ideas for where to stay? Any good restaurant recommendations? Any other suggestions at all?

Seattle ladies - same questions. We are planning to probably spend a day or two in Seattle. Anything we must do?

We were just in both places last week. Pike Place Market was by far one of my favorite places we went to in Seattle.

In Portland, we actually stayed in Camas about 20 minutes north of Portland at the Camas Hotel. It's an adorable little B&B and was my favorite hotel we stayed at on the trip. I'd recommend there if you're not set on staying in the city.

This is happening that last weekend in July (Portland).  It is worth it, but will make downtown hotels hard to get.
