Shopping in Troutdale
November 28th, 2011
I was charmed and surprised by a recent walk through downtown Troutdale.
Often overlooked by those zooming through the Gorge, or overshadowed by nearby McMenamins Edgefield, this section of the Historic Columbia River Highway feels like an old-time Main Street, and is a picturesque holiday shopping destination.
Here’s what I found:
1. Troutdale General Store: With its overflowing baskets of taffy, cases of candy, piles of gifts for kids and adults, old-fashioned ice cream counter and seasonal decorations, this place is a destination unto itself.
2. Celebrate Me Home: A beautiful home store with decor, gifts, housewares and a cozy deli serving hot cider, espresso and homemade quiche.

3. Troutdale Antique Mall: 60+ sellers display their wares throughout two floors. From highly collectible glassware to bargain jewelry, there is something here for every treasure hunter.
