Description

People gather in downtown Portland on Sunday, April 12, 2026, for an unveiling and celebration of the Thompson Elk statue, which returned to its original home on Southwest Main Street in downtown Portland for the first time since 2020. The city removed the landmark after fires damaged its base during protests that year.

Portlanders’ view of downtown continues to improve, but its reputation is still under repair, a new poll commissioned by The Oregonian/OregonLive found.
