I'm visiting Portland next month [View all]

I've only been there one other time and it was during a freak heatwave one August. I didn't get to see much, so I'm hoping Oct. will be a good time. I'll be staying in the Sellwood area, so if anyone can suggest places to eat, things to do there that would be great. I'm hoping to see some Fall foliage, the Japanese Garden, and the Hood River area. Thanks
