Bumper to Bumper to Bikes & Barges

By Lauren Hurley, October 15, 2018

It’s the best kind of call you can get—a new client, a friend of a friend, moving to Portland in search for better work-life balance, better quality of life, less time on the road, more time enjoying the great outdoors.

When I first met Wendy + Butch, it was clear. Twenty-five years of commuting up to 4 hours a day, from Marin to the city had taken its toll. They were ready to make the move. Butch had the opportunity to transfer his work to Portland, and both were thrilled at the idea of living in the city just blocks away from the office! They could not wait to ditch their cars, grab their bikes and ride. With their youngest now off to college, what was holding them back? It was a whirlwind hunt for a place less than 10 minutes on bike to Big Pink. From The South Waterfront, to the Pearl District, Alphabet District, they soon found it. A modern townhome right on the waterfront at Riverplace, tucked between the foot of the Fremont Bridge and NW Industrial. Their mornings are now all about watching the barges, not bumpers, then hopping on the bike and heading for work!
