Favorite landmark Blouse: I’m in love with Mount Hood. On a clear day, you can see it from any highpoint in the city, even though it’s an hour away. It feels very spiritual because it’s shaped like a cone, which is so unlike the Californian mountain ranges I grew up around. It’s as if it has a singular personality. I spend a lot of time there, and I feel oddly protected by it. The Decemberists: Joan of Arc in the middle of Cesar Chavez. Mimicking Birds: Portland GasCo Building [locals are fighting to preserve the historic dilapidated building] Pink Feathers: It’s a bit of a drive, but Haystack Rock off of the Oregon coast. Priory
