Susie Knows Slabtown and has a great condo listed in the heart of it! Susieknowspdx here, ready to spill the beans on one of Portland’s coolest neighborhoods: Slabtown! Situated between the Pearl District and Northwest District, this place isn’t just trendy eateries and artsy vibes, it’s also packed with history, and guess what? I’m about to dish out the juicy details, so buckle up!

Where’d That Name Come From? Alright, so back in the day, Slabtown wasn’t the hipster haven it is now. Nope, it was all about timber. You see, when lumber mills were booming, they’d produce a lot of waste—slabs of wood left over from the milling process. And guess what? Those slabs were everywhere! Hence the name: Slabtown. Pretty cool, huh?

Let’s talk grub. Slabtown isn’t playing around when it comes to food. You’ve got everything from classic American diners to fun little eateries serving up cuisine from around the globe. Seriously, your taste buds are in for a treat. Make sure to hit up Besaw’s for some comfort food or Breakside Brewery for a brew and some tasty pub grub.

Art and culture are alive and kickin’ in Slabtown. Wander the streets and you’ll stumble upon galleries, theaters and spots where creativity flows. Catch a show at The Armory or get your fill of stunning photography at the Blue Sky Gallery. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Need some fresh air? Slabtown has you covered. Head to Wallace Park for a picnic or take a stroll along the Willamette River Greenway Trail. And if you’re feeling adventurous, dive into Forest Park for some serious hiking and biking action. Nature lovers, rejoice!

Ready to shop till you drop? Slabtown’s got your back. From quirky boutiques to vintage shops, there’s something for everyone. Scope out the Portland Flea Market for handmade goodies or hit up Buffalo Exchange for some vintage finds. Your wardrobe will thank you.

So there you have it, folks! Slabtown: Where history meets hip. Get out there and explore—you never know what hidden gems you’ll uncover.
