One other heads up: the Portland Building is a Government Building and they have been increasingly touchy about bringing "weapons" in. I am not sure what kind of screening there will be, but it might include innocuous seeming things like little pocket knives. To be safe, it's probably a good idea to leave such items behind. I lost a little gerber folding pocket knife ( https://www.gerbergear.com/en-us/shop/knives/folding/ultralight-lst-22-06050) when I went to visit Senator Wyden's office a few years ago.
