Flying in Thursday night with my chick, we plan on hitting amateur day on Friday morning to check out the track for a couple hours but we'll have Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday day to do tourist stuff. Suggestions from locals in the Portland - Vancouver area?
There is a lot of cool stuff to see, architecture, parks and usually some type of festival is going on about every weekend.
Head on over to Voodoo Doughnuts, it taste like any other doughnut and not worth the wait but gotta say you did it. OSMI is pretty cool for a time killer.
If your looking for a fun place to party that whole city downtown pretty much turns into one big one but if you really want a good club scene or something, head down into China Town but would stay out of there during the day as its pretty depressing.
Be sure to check out Ground Control arcade, even if you aren't into that. Its like a trip the early 90's mid 80's and a good time.
There is also lots of good hiking trails around there where you can walk or even rent bicycles if your into that.
Lots of great restaurants......Sunday head up the Gorge for lunch at Hood River...depending when you fly out you could make the loop from HR to Mt Hood and then back to the airport.
In SE Portland, the Hawthorn area has great food and shopping.
NW Portland you can check out Voo Doo Donuts and Portland City Grill(It's a restaurant on the top floor has the whole city view).
Walk across one of the bridges in the city for nice photos?

Worst case scenario, they have the best strip clubs with restaurants on the planet (Portland airport area).. At least that is the way it was when I "checked it out" 22 years ago. LOL. Nothing like a cold beer, eye candy, and a really good steak eh?
Evergreen Museum
McMinnville, OR.
Multnoma falls is about 45-1 hour east of Portland. Right off the road.
A few minutes east from there you can hike to Pony tail falls which is like 20 minutes from the parking lot on an east trail. You can actually walk behind the falls, it's really cool!

Here's some clips in my press day video from a couple of years ago:
