Portland in the summer might be one of the most angelic places ever. The weather from May through October is so nice, you wonder if you’re in Heaven. That being said, November through April is a freezing, rainy, grey hellscape. I have a lot of friends from college who still live in Portland, so I go back once a year to visit with them. Such beautiful nature. It’s not a culturally diverse city, but you can bet I was at Que Bacano and Portland Mercado ALL the time for a taste of home. October or November is a great time to visit Portland because of the stunning fall foliage. Also, there are lots of Día de los Muertos celebrations within the tiny Latinx pockets across the city. Don’t get me started on how hard people here go for Halloween. Scorpio season is a great time to be in Portland.
Seattle, Washington. November 2024.
Seattle is another great place to see fall foliage, slay in a winter fit, and turn up to all of the best Latinx and LGBTQ spaces. There are so many gay people in Seattle and Portland that if you’re gay or bisexual (meeee, ding ding ding) or transgender, it would actually be more insane to NOT book a trip to one of these cities than it would be to save money and plan a vacation to your own couch.
