Something to Smile About in June
Last Tuesday night, the final piece of the nine-acre mass timber roof slid into place – a huge (and we mean HUGE) milestone in Phase 2 of the new PDX. Curious what that looked like? Watch part of the install unfold from above, below, and every glorious angle.
An accomplishment this big couldn’t be done so safely and successfully without the work of an incredible team. Congratulations to all – you nailed it. (And craned it.)
Next up: Building more of what you love underneath the roof – more comfort, better flow, local food, and fun. Get ready!

Information Booths: As a reminder, the north information booth is closed until Friday, Aug. 8, and the south information booth is closed until Friday, Aug. 22.
