Not such a great spot, but I've never found hitching north outta Portland to be all that easy. Cars have room to stop and if traffic is backed up, you can ask around at stopped cars. We waited one and a half hours.

I think I just got lucky here because some kid just saw me walking onto the Interstate and asked if I needed a ride.

This is an okay spot heading north to olympia & seattle. You can take an express c-tran bus from downtown portland here; take it to the end - "salmon creek park & ride".

Waited here about 20 minutes for a ride to Vancouver WA. Got offered coins twice!

Very good place, lots of people stopped. Not many of them were going as far north as we wanted. It took a while to get a ride to Longview.

Easy to get to with public transit and a bit of walking. The traffic was crawling when I hitched here. During the 45 minutes I waited, I received four offers, all of which were heading to Vancouver. I scribbled a sign that said "Olympia" and within five minutes I had an awesome ride to Olympia.

Right by the onramp on to the I-5. Ok traffic going north. Probably none of it very far. I think we just got lucky. Hitching out of cities is hard.

I walked here from Fife. It was well worth the walk.

There is a ton of room for cars to pull off. A retaining wall partially blocks the view for some of the oncoming traffic, but they still have plenty of time and room to stop. I got picked up really quickly by a guy that ended up buying a bus ticket for me to portland, so I'd call it a win.

It was pretty late in the day but people were pretty reluctant to pick me up. One guy even pulled off onto the shoulder and tried to shoot rocks at me.

I ended up taking the city bus out to the truckstops out at Troutdale.

Portland seems like a bit of a mess. I'm glad I'm just passing through.

The ramp is ok. Lots of room to pull off.
