re: Travel Day from Portland to Vancouver... Things to do

Not a bar or restaurant but the Columbia factory outlet has some really good buys. The old original one. Also there is a sporting goods store near wal mart by Home Depot in Portland that has it all and no sales tax. For me the food up there is rather dull. Even the Joe's Crab Shack wasn't as good as here. There is some some authentic Mexican down on Fourth Plain in Vancouver at some local taqueria. Plenty of pot shops if that's your thing
