If you are planning on renting a car anyways, you may still want to
consider Pearson Field (VUO). It is very close to downtown Portland, an
easy hop across the I-5 bridge.

Second that in addition to my Troutdale recommendation, although the commute
can be ugly if it's rush hour. Pearson is a beautiful little airstrip with
a nice museum and historical facilities all around.
