Portland Aerial Tram: Portland's Aerial Tram opened in January 2007. It connects the Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) campus on Marquam Hill with the new South Waterfront development, taking two tram cars over Portland's Lair Hill neighborhood and the I-5 freeway. The Aerial Tram has been controverial due to its repeated cost overruns.

Mt. Saint Helens: This active volcano had its last serious eruption in May, 1980, but had a minor but attention-getting eruption of ash in March 2005 (see photos in this gallery). Mt.
