   And after Troutdale it falls to essentially Sea Level at Willamette Falls   
   in Oregon City.  Supposedly the area under the falls (where the falling   
   water carves out a hole under the river) is some 100 feet below sea level.   
      
   Tides impact the Columbia all the way up to the Beacon Rock / Bonneville   
   Dam area.  If being impacted by the tides is considered "sea level" then   
   Portland is pretty much at 0.
