Any pipemakers in Portland, OR, or the surrounding?

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if any of you live in the Portland area,
or know of any pipe makers in these parts.

This forum is AMAZINGLY helpful,
but sometimes it helps even more to talk to someone face to face, to lay hands on their tools
and pipes.

Just reaching out to see if some one else is close by and willing to chat with a new maker.

Thanks!
Jeremy.

You should come lay hands on some tools in PDX, cause that's how we do.

Drove through Wyoming once or twice. My favorite mesh-back is from Dirty Annie's.
Know that place?

Unfortunately not. There is a pipemaker in the valley. For the life of me I don't remember who it is though. Someone help me out.

Ha! PDX is the airport code for the local runway, but most folks round here use it interchangeably with the city name. If I remember correctly, Dirty Annie's was a restaurant/gas station/den of iniquity just before heading over the mountains. I bought a hat.....

On hwy14. I've never been I'd better add that to my Yellowstone list. Brilliant to look for a local maker to visit. I had considered trying to visit makers on vacation or day job trips. But, never thought one might be close. I have found some close smokers on a different forum. Wyoming is a huge state. I am just two hours north of denver. I might just look around. Oh and I requested you on IG.

That's just always how I've learned best. I need to SEE and TOUCH and be able to ask questions at the moment,
not later when I can get to my computer.... ( I have had some problems trying to get at my phone with rubber gloves full of leather dye.....) Also, I like teamwork, working together, someone to bounce ideas off of, form a dialogue... and this forum goes a long way towards that, but there is a bit of a barrier.
