Located along a 100 foot stretch of sandy beach on Oregon's Sauvie Island, Sunken Village Archeological Site is an undisclosed site housing a remarkable anthropological area. A Chinook village was situated along the sandy banks of this small island, estimated to date back 700 years. While the site is one of the best-preserved Native American heritage areas in the state and was declared a National Heritage Site in 1989.
Sparkling in the sunlight or reflecting overcast skies, you can spot this landmark from nearly every viewpoint in the City of Portland. Built by U.S. Bancorp, the flashy rose-colored skyscraper has been affectionately dubbed "Big Pink." With 43 floors shooting into the downtown sky, it is Portland's tallest high-rise. Crowning the skyline, the structure can be seen from Council Crest in the southwest, Mount Tabor in the east and Overlook Park in the north.
