Luggage storage at Portland Union Station

Rolling into Portland with hours before a hotel will take your bags, or a long wait between trains, can be awkward.

The station itself has no left-luggage desk or lockers, so storing bags means booking ahead with Stasher before you head into town. The Moda Center also turns away anything larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches, which rules out most luggage at events there. Meanwhile, the MAX Red Line keeps the airport reachable directly from downtown, so leaving Portland with bags is the easy part. The station sits in the Old Town Chinatown district, so you can start exploring that neighbourhood as soon as you arrive. Station staff can help with baggage-handling and provide courtesy wheelchairs for travellers who cannot walk. Amtrak Cascades, Coast Starlight, and Empire Builder trains all serve Portland Union Station. The staffed station building has a waiting room, ticket sales office, and Amtrak ticketing kiosks. With Stasher, you can store bags from $3.48 per bag per day.

There's no strict size limit, though prices can vary with bag size. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Portland can be booked through the website or app.

Getting around Portland with luggage

The quickest link from Union Station to the Rose Quarter Transit Center is the MAX light rail, taking roughly four minutes. A TriMet MAX or Portland Streetcar ride costs $2.80 for 2.5 hours of travel, and you tap a contactless card, phone, or Hop card on the green reader at the station before boarding.

Nearby sights and bag rules

Pioneer Courthouse Square is 0.9 miles from Union Station, close enough to walk if your bags are already stored. The Moda Center hosts NBA and WNBA games, concerts, and other big events, but its bag rules are strict — nothing larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches gets through the doors, so you'd need to leave larger luggage somewhere else first; Stasher offers storage across Portland as an alternative.

If you're heading to Portland International Airport, the MAX Red Line connects from downtown, which keeps the airport reachable without a car. Back at the station itself, eligible passengers can use the Metropolitan Lounge, and vending machines cover snacks and drinks while you wait.
