Here are some travel and lodging suggestions.
Portland Airport to Hillsboro
It is best to fly into Portland.- From the Portland Airport, take the RED MAX train (it’s the only one that goes to the airport) toward downtown Portland.
- Switch to the BLUE MAX train to get into Hillsboro (switch anywhere in Portland –Pioneer Square or Beaverton Transit Center is probably best because it is the end of the RED line).
