Theme: Bridges
PDX. Stumptown. Rose City. Portland has many nicknames, but perhaps the most enduring is Bridgetown — a nod to our iconic bridges and the culture of acceptance that fuels our creativity.
Portland's famed bridges represent our progress and expose our challenges. From a past tarnished with racial inequality to a present that seeks to transcend that story.
Year 8 is dedicated to building the future of Portland as an equitable, hopeful and prosperous city for all.
