North Portland, Oregon

North Portland is a diverse mixture of residential, commercial, and industrial areas.

Nicknames for it include "NoPo" and "the Fifth Quadrant" (for having been the odd-one out from the four-cornered logic of SE, NE, SW, and NW, prior to the 2020 arrival of South Portland).

During World War II, a planned development named Vanport was constructed to the north of this section between the city limits and the Columbia River.

[3] In 2004, the MAX Yellow Line opened along North Interstate Avenue.

The light rail line parallels I-5, stopping short of crossing the Columbia River.
