Default GA airports near Portland, OR

I've flown into PDX in a Cessna 152, the hot-pants wearing, "I can't
believe it's not an ultralight" red headed stepchild of the general
aviation family and they treated me excellently. I contacted Portland
Approach from the south who vectored me directly over downtown and had
be call Tower. Tower had me cross midfield and then circle to land,
and this is all VFR.

Tower and approach were excellent, ground was super about getting me to
the FBO, and clearance delivery was basically "dial and go" with no
delays when I launched again.

Something to consider, PDX is in class charlie, not bravo, and while
it's busy, it looks like it has a lot of capacity.

I don't know how much it costs to park there, but flying into PDX is a
breeze, and I'll do it again next time I'm up there.
