Lots of global food markets and cafes - India, Thai, Africa, Asia, Bosnia - to name a few. Orchard is the main thoroughfare connecting the freeway to the river with an eclectic mix of ethnic markets, thrift shops and the usual northwest suspects - Fred Meyers, JiTB, Albertsons, Dutch Bros - look beyond these and you'll find many delightful surprises. Follow Orchard to the river and you'll find the greenbelt, follow Orchard to the desert and you'll have a whole other experience. Many of the homes in the Central Bench area are GI tract homes with a sprinkling of historic homesteads and a solid base of mid-century modern homes woven throughout for the Mid-Mod enthusiasts. Many of the creatives moved up to the Bench when Northend and Eastend prices drove us out.. we keep it fun and funky up here
