Until 1980 I-84 was known as 80N. Quarterflash used to be Seafood Mama. I am old enough to remember. Thanks for all the great videos. As a retired long-haul trucker it's great to revisit places I've been.

I love the way Portland have a small beltway around the downtown area which is like 8 to 9 miles going around.

This is one of your best videos, great editing, perfect music and amazing road network!

I really really enjoyed this. It's overcast right now in NY and this was just right. Thank you Freeway!

I got to come and live up here for a few months from April to November, stayed in Beaverton but was doing some work in Gresham. Nearly everyday i would do the exact route home you did at the beginning of the video and it never got old. Every chance I got I went to go drive a few laps around "the loop" downtown. The hard part was deciding which direction to go because as you just showed you can't go wrong either direction you go! You captured it beautifully. Watching this video just brings back so many memories and transports me back to Portland. Can't wait to go back again this summer

Portland looks so beautiful. So lush and green with all the forested areas sourounding the higways.

This is beautiful! Love all the incredible effects just masterful keep it up!!

The best Portland driving video I’ve ever seen:()

Driving and jamming to good music, two of some of my favorite things. Add in exploring a beautiful city, and it makes this perfect!

Enjoyed the video and soundtrack, in which both were quite the variety!!! It doesn't matter how many times I will see the Fremont bridge, it amazes me every time! :)

Sir, I LOVE your channel, fully addicted

Really love ❤️ watching this since I’ve never been to Oregon or anywhere in the west coast for that matter. Thank you so much 😊. Portland is a beautiful city

This is one of your BEST videos. Portland looks absolutely beautiful and the music and editing was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏽🤌🏽

I went to Portland again during the Thanksgiving and your video reminds me of my time there (actually my car was broken in near the 405 in downtown lol)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="247">4:07</a> wow thats so cool Great editing jim!

Portland looks so beautiful! I've never been there but I will be there in 20 days! As a child of the 80's, I really loved the musical choices too on the video! Great job!

Great! I really enjoyed this video. Respect and love from the Republic of Estonia!

When I watch this video, it gives me so much deja vu. Especially when you went on I-405 North and South lots of times.

I really appreciate all the work and effort you put in every video ,Jim. US is a place worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. Love the roads

It's a good thing you added two one-hit wonders of Portland, OR based artists in this drive video around Portland, OR. Both songs did peak at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. "I Can't Wait" was at #3 for a week on June 14, 1986, losing to "Live to Tell" by Madonna which falls to #2 and "On My Own" by Patti Labelle, and Michael McDonald which climbs to #1. "Harden My Heart" was at #3 for two weeks between February 13 to 20, 1982, losing to "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" by Daryl Hall & John Oates at #2 and "Centerfold" by The J. Geils Band at its peak at #1.

Very nice ride through Portland! Have always wanted to check out the city for it's quirkiness and it's freeways as well! Very well-done and well worth waiting for a time to sit, relax and enjoy your video! Also, cool effects at points, very cool factoids- and a great soundtrack too!

You truly create some great videos with excellent music and graphics! I can't wait for the day I can go to all of the places you've been.

Portland has some really cool freeways. Very nice scenery as well! Great video Jim!

And also, I am a previous resident of Denver, Co. And I thought Denver was the most beautiful city but I think I need to rethink that!

Never realized how beautiful Portland is

I'm a few years late to the party, but never too late to a Big Jim classic!

Great video again as always! Also great music, I love hearing muse again!

I remember one night I want from Beaverton to Vancouver. When I was on I-405 near Everett/Glisan, it was so foggy I could barely see street lights from 100 feet away. When I was on the lower deck of the bridge about where the land meets the water, I could see perfectly. I was very relieved... until I hit the dense fog on the other side of the bridge. I started grumbling until I realized what had happened. I just had to get off at Going Way and turn around. I got on the upper deck. What a view! I could see the West Hills, Mount Hood, the Koin Tower, US Bancorp tower, a couple of buildings in the Lloyd District, and that's all. Everything else was sleeping under the fog. That was 17 years ago, but I'll never forget that view.

I just watched this again, this time on the big screen with 300 watts of 5.1 surround, a truly awesome video!

Wow fun video, good music thanks to you also music group from Portland w/dates of highways a great package to share

Loved the video, LOVED the music, just perfect!

It looks good fun burning up and down them roads I wish I was there now

Masterpiece , I will watch again and again.

Amazing video as usual!! Great music choices, love the lights, just awesome! I hope you got a chance to explore the city, I hear that it is a unique place!

Wow, great tour of the downtown hub and "spokes"! Definitely agree about that northern I-5/I-405 interchange: it's great from all angles

Hi Jim! Awesome highway trip video! Highways are the best just like you! Keep up the awesomeness work

Kind of reminds me of Pittsburgh. Weather and all. Thank you for the video Jim.

Cool video. My late great uncle did a lot of electrical work for ODOT around Portland when these freeways were first being built.

This lamb enjoyed the views of the city. The flock all were wondering why speed limits seemed to be so low.

I could totally feel your excitement of driving around Portland in this video, simply by the number of times you kept passing through, over and over, lol. Same feeling I had, the first few times I visited Portland and drove its freeways. Awesome video from start to finish.

Awesome! You made it to my neck of the woods. I live in Salem, Oregon. I've actually driven every highway In your video pretty awesome.

that was quite the tour de force. Great production on this one Jim. I was there once in 1984. Didn't see much other than the ship yard I was at.

Great video! I've never seen much of Portland the two or three times I've been there (had a strong focus and schedule of things to do and only for a couple of days) so it's nice to see this much of it. I instantly recognized Nu Shooz and knew they were from Portland, so I thought "Nice touch." :-D

Jim, you've eradicated a bit of my ignorance. Having lived and spent time in Seattle, Portland was generally viewed as Seattle's "baby brother" in a less than endearing connotation. I've never been to Portland, but your video cleared up whatever misconceptions I may have had about the city, as it is absolutely beautiful, unique and happens to have some awesome architecture (buildings and highway infrastructure). Thanks for the Vid!

when i saw the map of your 2016 vacation, i was very happy that you would be going through my original home town of portland, and i've been eagerly anticipating your videos from there. this one did not disappoint! it brought back a lot of memories. i'm looking forward to next week's as well. i'm hoping as well that you will post some video of going east on interstate 84, especially through the columbia river gorge and going up cabbage hill just east of pendleton. that's another freeway i remember very very well.

That was a smooth great ride through Portland at night!

Great video. I recently visited. Traffic is variable. I couldn’t live there unless I got a handsome salary. It’s pretty. I would visit again.

I love to watch these videos!!!! the music fits perfectly. wesome!!

This feels strange to watch. I've been to the states once in my life in 2005 (I was 17 at that time) and that was a three weeks' stay in Salem, OR. We made many trips to Portland back then, but at that time I was not yet interested in maps and geography OR road structures. So when I watched this, I hoped that I would recall an intersection or such, but there is nothing. I am astonished about how beautiful Portland is, though. Wish I had realized it at that time already.

Good video.. but my thing is when you was on the freeway heading to Beaverton you just should of stayed on it.. Beaverton, Troutdale, Tigard, Tuallitan, all of that is part of Portland.. Gresham. You know. You could of the freeway all around the city of Portland. Into Vancouver,Wa also.. ijs sir. Great video though..

I loved this ride, especially on US 26. When you were along I-84, to the right was the Portland MAX, one of the first modern Light Rail systems ever built in the United States.

I had no idea Nu Shooz was from Portland, and I grew up there. I have so many memories with these roads, especially the tunnels on Sunset, since I lived in Beaverton

This dusk to night video border's on LEGENDARY!! I had no idea Portland had such scenic views. And the music threaded the eye candy into a symphony of beautiful views....nicely executed!

Wow, Portland is quite a city. my cousin actually lives there right now.

The video thumbnail, it reminds me Japanese Expressway.... maybe because it has fences on the side. But as always, great video Jim! Keep it up!

Where do I begin? Another video that has shot up to the top of my favorites list. A Gondola right over the freeway! Funny thing about No Shooz, I made a mix tape for a young lady in Colorado Springs back in '87, and "I can't wait" was part of it. I recognized it with the first few notes. It sure brought back a few memories! We love your Dusk-to-Dark videos, Jim!

Watching this now and i cant stop thinking about how amazing thesle traffic conditions are. I could only dream of this now 😅

Absolutely stunning! I love seeing a video of the city I'm from (well, Gresham, but still Portland), I love the few times I get to drive around the loop and see downtown... I like to put on "I like the way you move" when driving on the freeway near downtown, just gives the best vibes... Thank you for enlightening more people on the true beauty of this city, many ignore us and many even say we're a small city! With 2.4 million in the metro area and 660k in the city alone, I don't at all consider my city small.

Hi FreewayJim i feel like Your passenger Enjoying the Drive & Music while driving through Portland lol and Great Video!

Great video & soundtrack. Nice job !

That was really awesome Jim !

Thumbs up for the music alone!

very enjoyable ride on some awesome freeways

Hi from Portland. Great video.

Hi Jim I really enjoyed your video!!! 😊

Wow, you're right. Boise doesn't give off this same vibe at all! I always thought that the PNW would be similar, or all the same and included Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Buy each one is uniquely different!

Very good music sync!

Nicely done!! 😃

As of 2023 I-405 & The Fremont Bridge is Now 50 Years Old

Beautiful city.

Hey Jim, I absolutely enjoyed that ride, and did I detect a little music editing, great job! It was a good idea to allow the police officer to merge over into the left lane in front of you, better in front than behind you.(Lol), I love the scenery of the Ferris wheel at (<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1120">18:40</a>) as you stated there was so much going on in the foreground.. Love the old school classics!

Good song selection! I like Nu Shooz A lot!

Portland is beautiful!

I wanna move here when I’m older

Very cool video, it was nice to come back to after my honeymoon!

Used to live in Hillsboro back in 1986-98 back before it got all built up 'n' shit. When I worked in SE Portland that ride on the Sunset Highway to the Banfield via the Marquam Bridge was my daily commute! I see the Ferris wheel was set up in Waterfront Park. Must have been Rose Festival time.

Fantastic!

Give a big hell yeah if you from Portland and speak English with the Squawmie accent!!!

Great ride Jim! You kinda brought it there.

This is the best night tour you've ever done. IMO Portland looks a lot like Milwaukee except without the hills

I just love western and pac. NW freeways. They're so modern and complex.

Love those night time views

love the soundtrack :)

I’m an Uber driver in Portland who obviously cannot go to work during this quarantine, so this video is a pretty excellent representation of my typical night and really makes me feel like I’m out and about working again. Thanks for the upload! Also, what dashcam are you using that looks this good during the dark hours?

the sound track is on point

Great video🛣🚘🏙😀👌

Great music choice!!

Now that's some Muse-ic right there! :-)

Thanks for making this. I'm from Portland and I always loved the view of Portland at night from the Marquam and Fremont Bridge and the tunnel is nice two. I swear they should race an f1 circuit around it. Hey you should check out the Micheal Jackson "Speed Demon" music video. It was filmed in Portland on these very bridges.

Hopefully, one day, you'll be able to visit the Rose City of Ontario: My hometown of Welland in Niagara. Nice choice for music, BTW.

Thinking back on your Pittsburgh video, the freeways and so on, with the greenery around and the fact that it's also on a river, makes me think these two cities look very similar! Do you see that and agree with it?

That bridge ramp is like hotwheels

So I guess this means you've officially clinched all 3 405's, right? Haha! Love the vid too... I have to say I've been to Portland many times but never really seen much of the freeways cuz I usually end up Amtrak'ing my way down there, but now I feel like I gotta go play around on the Freemont Bridge for a bit. :)

That was an epic journey Jim! I'm quite fond with dusk to dark videos because they just look awesome. And the variety in the soundtrack was cool too!!

Excellent! interesting that most of freeways in the Portland area are no more than 3 lanes in each direction.

awesome video

Portland is quite a city. Just about an unknown to us easterners.

WOW the expressway infrastructure in Portland is beautiful. It’s like work of arts out there and not an eyesore like most of the urban interstates were when they were built. I’m sure the community was heavily involved with this because of local opposition. At least that is what I could assume haha

thanks freewayjim!

wow just lovely... that was a fly ass flyover
