About this title

Synopsis

The third edition of the Newcomer's Handbook® for Moving to and Living in Portland, about 560 pages long, contains detailed and updated information on neighborhoods, getting settled, helpful services, child care and education, cultural life, and much more. Written by Bryan Geon, who has spent over a decade exploring Portland and the surrounding region, both as a long-time resident and serial newcomer, this book is the essential guide to Portland and the surrounding communities.

About the Author

Bryan Geon moved to Portland for the first time in 1993 as a fresh-faced college grad. He left the area for law school and work, but Portland has always drawn him back, and he has spent over a decade relentlessly exploring and enjoying the city and its surroundings. He has lived in four of the city's five sections and in three different Oregon counties (although not simultaneously). As both a long-time resident and a serial newcomer, Bryan is well qualified to guide other newcomers to the region. He has traveled to all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries, and he is happy to click his heels together and repeat at least three times that there is no place like Portland. When not practicing law or writing, he enjoys traipsing around the Northwest and spending time with his wife and two sons.
