PDX was designed with the traveler in mind.  Easy parking, quick check-in, almost no waiting time thru security.  I have traveled out of PDX 6 or more times and have not waitied at security for more than 5 min.  Hooray they got it right!  Shops and dinning are excellent.  Sushi bar hits the spot.
Pros:  Little Waiting, Quick Car Rental, Good Shopping
