    Is Portland Better Than Seattle?
    Dec 2 2025
    Seattle and Portland have always had a good-natured rivalry. As two of the Pacific Northwest’s biggest cities, it’s easy to compare ourselves with our neighbor to the south — we both have ample access to nature, thriving food scenes, and plenty of rain. In honor of the recent launch of City Cast Seattle, host Jane C. Hu was invited to join Claudia Meza and the City Cast Portland team to debate the merits of our respective cities. Which city is actually better? Stay tuned as we try to settle the question once and for all. Want to get in touch? Follow us @CityCastSeattle on Instagram, or email us at seattle@citycast.fm.
