Olympic and Hoh rainforest are amazing. You can catch a lot of the falls along the Colombia River Gorge with just a short drive. Multnohmah is just as easy as get out of the car and look but the lot there is busy and you have to pay. Lots of other free and short walk falls along that stretch. Latourell is one of our favorites. Good view from Vista House on the way too. Our favorite falls are Falls Creek Falls, its maybe an hour drive from Portland and a 2 mile round trip hike but worth it. Panther Creek also not too shabby. If you are staying in Astoria make the drive to Cannon beach for Haystack Rock. Oros Restaurant in Cannon has amazing clam chowder.
