Perched at a higher elevation than much of Portland, the combination of freezing temperatures, high wind speeds, and freezing rain had an adverse impact on Portland Japanese Garden. Where ice melted through many parts of the city, it persisted throughout our grounds, making it difficult to traverse. Fortunately, due to the tireless work of its Garden, Facilities, Visitor Relations, and Security departments throughout the worst of the storm, damage was mitigated and its koi were protected and kept safe.
