The Central Eastside Industrial District is where Portland’s grit began.  We’re fortunate to be in the heart of this historic area.  Within blocks of the Garage, you’ll find iconic hardware and paint stores, industrial specialty suppliers, used furniture dealers, specialty wood processors, outdoor shops, bike shops, yoga studios, breweries, food markets and more…

Thanks to our membership base, we have deals and relationships with many of these businesses.  Just ask!
