Portland is a city of about 640,000 people at the center of a metro of 2.5 million that crosses into Washington at Vancouver, with ZIP codes 972 covering the city and Multnomah County and 970 and 971 the Oregon suburbs. The city's east side is a grid of single-family neighborhoods (Hawthorne, Laurelhurst, Alberta, Sellwood, St. Johns) on dense residential routes where EDDM works well; the west side is hillier and higher-value; downtown and the Pearl are apartment markets. The suburbs of Washington County (Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard) and Clackamas County (Lake Oswego, West Linn, Happy Valley) are single-family and affluent.
Portland businesses mail because the region's households own homes that need constant work in a wet climate, and because the metro's digital ad market is expensive. Roofing, gutter, moss, window and heat pump companies mail homeowner lists; real estate agents farm the east side and Lake Oswego; restaurants, breweries and coffee roasters mail EDDM; dental and medical groups mail the suburbs; and the athletic apparel, technology and manufacturing employers mail consumers and businesses nationally from here.

Beaverton, Hillsboro and Tigard are single-family suburbs with large tech-employee populations. Gresham and outer east Portland are strong bilingual EDDM markets. Vancouver, Washington, across the river, mails with Portland in one campaign.

Answers
Direct mail in Portland: questions people ask
How much does direct mail cost in Portland?
Direct mail in Portland is quoted for the city and the job rather than from a national price list, because how a Portland list sorts, where the mail is entered and how many pieces you send all move the number. A quote covers printing on a 5×8.25 or 6×11 postcard, mail processing and USPS postage, stated separately. Send the size, the quantity and the ZIP codes or neighborhoods through the quote form and a written Portland quote comes back, usually within a business hour, at up to 60% less than the big online printers.
Can you mail Vancouver, Washington with Portland?
Yes. Routes and lists across Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties in Oregon and Clark County in Washington can be included in one mailing and entered together.
Which Portland neighborhoods are best for EDDM?
The east side grid: Hawthorne, Belmont, Alberta, Laurelhurst, Sellwood, Woodstock, St. Johns and outer east Portland, plus nearly all of the suburbs. Downtown and the Pearl are apartment districts better served by targeted lists.
