I mainly spent most of my time at Powells, which was three storeys of books and I loved it.
The International Rose Test Gardens were lovely to walk through but probably not good for December. There were the Japanese Gardens in the same area but I didn't get to them as they were too hilly for my knee to take.
A friend took me to McMenamis Kennedy School Hotel which I really enjoyed between the good and seeing how they converted the school into a hotel, restaurant, music, and movie events. It's about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown. https://www.mcmenamins.com/kennedy-school
