Milwaukie: One of Portland’s Hidden Gems

By Steve Brian, June 10, 2021

Milwaukie is one of Portland-metro’s hidden gems.  There is so much to see and experience. The small business community that has grown over the years is nothing short of amazing. Whatever you like to do, you will always be able to find something that you will enjoy.

Go explore Bob’s Red Mill Headquarters. You can enjoy seeing how the mill works and how we get all their delicious products. They offer daily tours and you even get a free sample at the end of it. What is a tour without a gift shop? Theirs is top-teir. See every product Bob’s Red Mill has made and get all your favorites.

If you are in need of some fresh air go to Elk Rock Island. A 1.3 mile hike sitting on a 40-million-year-old exposed volcano it makes it one of the oldest places in the Portland area . This park is a great place to bring the whole family, and take in the beautiful view. The water and the vegetation make this place so special and a must-see!

Finally, if you are looking for that Portland thrift experience, you need to go to Red White & Blue Thrift Store. This cash-only thrift always has the best hidden gems. You could easily spend hours here just looking through their large array of goods. You always leave so excited to take home all your goodies that you didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for.

This is only a taste of what this great city has to offer. What’s your favorite place in Milwaukie?

He/Him

Steve has made his career based on the concept that “service comes first.” He has helped clients buy and sell homes on both sides of the river and has a strong understanding of what it takes to negotiate in a way that allows his clients to feel that their best interests are always at the forefront of the negotiation table. He has worked with first time buyers, upsizers, downsizers and investors alike, priding himself on being able to provide well-informed advice based on the current market and leaving the final decisions up to his clients! After moving to Portland in 2002, Steve bounced around different neighborhoods on the Eastside of Portland and grew a love for straight shots of espresso. He has now planted roots with his family in the Terra Linda neighborhood of NW Portland and is a sucker for a delicious beer on a hot, summer day from one of the many local breweries in Portland. When he’s not wearing his “Steve the REALTOR®” hat, he likes to spend time in the water with his two boys or just put on some mud boots and find some trails to explore. "Service Comes First!"
