Walking from a friend's "bayshore" home in Washington to the beach at low tide
Clamming on that very beach (the Kayaking was done the next day)
Post-clamming view of the bay at low tide

These are just some of the many many things I saw in Portland, Oregon and Shelton, Washington, the coast of Oregon and a few places in between.
It seems I missed photo ops of a few of the most awe-inspiring things... (The Biz Ladies meetup put on by Design Sponge, The large bookstore, more great hand-painted signs, most of downtown portland, the river, the mountains, moss covered trees, all of Olympia...) but maybe I was just busy drooling over everything, and buzzing on coffee (that's right...I failed quitting coffee. At least on the west coast). But I had a good time, reunited with some family and friends that I hadn't seen in a long long time, and learned why the entire east coast has flocked to Oregon. It truly is beautiful, albeit being really really moist.
