The following article has a rumor that Trader Vics may be coming to Portland, at a location at Ninth and Stark downtown (one block north of Powells book store) in the former Federal Reserve Bank building.

As for the first floor of the building, Trader Vic’s Restaurant Co. is reportedly considering the space for its entry into the Portland market. A source at Trader Vic’s tells GlobeSt.com that it has been looking at multiple locations in Portland but has not signed any lease agreements.

The building is pretty cool - designed by an architect named Pietro Belluschi and built in 1949, it has a definite mid-century feel

Let's hope this one happens!
