I went to sandy river in the oxbow park.. about 25 minute drive out of Portland. (Its basically take division street alllllllllll the way out past Gresham.

Hey man any luck? I'm lookin for a good place to see the game tomorrow in good company. Sounders till I die!

Definitely not the one I go to, that's for sure!

Seriously though, it depends on what you're wanting. Beulahland usually has seats if you get there early enough. Great crowd and plenty of yelling and lots of people into the match. I watched at the Belmont Inn once and there were plenty of empty seats. So if you want to just watch the game that was a good spot. I watched one at Migration and it got packed quick, but people weren't as into it as I thought they would be.

You should be able to catch the July 10 game easily enough. After that, your best bet would be a non-sports bar with a TV and agreeable bartender. Beermongers leaps to mind - the patrons typically care more about the beer than what's on the television.

The other comment listed really, really touristy (aka busy & obnoxious) waterfalls. Best falls that aren't a difficult hike are located off of Eagle Creek. Tunnel Falls (6mls in) are the most amazing falls closest to Portland.

Silver Falls or Multnomah Falls. If you head out toward the Columbia River Gorge on the old highway there are numerous waterfalls on your way. I'm partial to Horsetail Falls myself. Happy Trails!

I am actually heading out to Stub Stewart park this weekend, mostly on TriMet. It's a great close-in, far-enough-away camping spot.

You can take the MAX blue line to the Willow Creek stop and bike about 20 miles from there to Stub Stewart. OR, if you don't want to bike at all, there's a Columbia County Rider bus that leaves from Willow Creek three times a day bound for Stub Stewart.
