Took the public transportation to the Sunset Transit Center to get out of town, hitchhiked at the highway entrance there for 30' before heading towards the highway to get more luck/traffic. Light rain might have not helped.As I was about to try on the next on-ramp, Andy pulled over with his Tesla. He drove me out of this highway, to improve my chances of having a ride. Offered me some snacks. He told me in many years driving here, he has never seen a single hitch on this specific highway.

Hard to find a proper spot. Lots of traffic, but short shoulder and sign forbidding pedestrians to go too much on-ramp.Got finally a ride from Annie, a girl in her twenties with a free afternoon who offered me to go all the way to Portland.
Very nice ride , lots of chat, nice weather and good view on Mt Reinier all the way !

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.―Anonymous

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

Going southbound, this is your spot. Good viewing distance, good Portland folks. Making a sign may be helpful. Look for the hippie vans!―Anonymous

This spot is great! I literally was picked up by the first car that came by. If you're going hiking for the day in the gorge, this is your starting spot (make a 'Multnomah Falls' sign). If you're going further (to Boise, SLC, or Spokane) definitely make a sign to get a direct ride, as hitching is frowned upon in Eastern Oregon and against the law in Idaho.―Anonymous

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".―Anonymous

We got picked up before even starting to hitch-hike by a guy that saw us walking with a sign... Can't beat that..―Anonymous

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.―Cmcneil

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.―Stephiewonder

Both truckstops, the TA and the Love's are pretty unfriendly. The TA allowed me to stay for the better part of a day but I was booted from Love's real fast. The onramp is good, though!―Drinkwindexx

Got out surprisingly fast. Right under the arches of the I5 bridge―Anonymous
