re: Portland, OR in February: Updated with Review and Pictures!

Bump for this trip leaving in a week. As of current, plan is to leave Hillsboro area Sat morning and go to cannon beach (per trillhog's suggestion), have lunch and explore the area. Are there any hikes or breweries near this beach area? If not, once we are done with the beach, we will head back to portland and look for breweries/nightlife. Flight out sunday morning is 6am so preferably someplace close to the airport region if this is safe/good. Will also probably drive across the bridge to washington to check off another state
