These three peaceful little squares have not always been. During the occupy movements in 2011, they served as the base camp for the civil disobedience supporters of Occupy Portland. This movement is inspired by Occupy Wall Street, launched in New York in 2011, itself inspired by the Arab Spring. Participants are peacefully protesting against social inequalities and the power of financial power. The protesters began their capture of Chapman Square, Terry Schrunk Plaza and Lownsdale Square on October 6. A walk of 10 000 demonstrators to Pioneer Square is then organized. If the camp was dismantled in November at the behest of the mayor, the Organisation Portland organization remained active since then.

A voir surtout pour les sculptures qu'on y trouve. L'endroit est peuplé de clochards et donne peu envie de s'y arrêter. Depuis quelques années, Portland récupère une partie de la population de San Francisco éjectée en dehors de la sphère professionnelle de la Silicon Valley, ce qui donne lieu à un étrange mélange entre habitants originels, nouveaux urbains (bobos) et sans domicile fixe. La ville n'est pas dangereuse pour autant mais cela en donne une image peu engageante.
