The first Powell’s store came to Beaverton when it opened at Loehmann’s Plaza (later renamed Cascade Plaza) in 1984 . During our time there, we hosted hundreds of authors, including Alex Trebek and Martha Stewart. It was briefly home to a children’s book annex called Powell’s Books for Kids, too. In 2006, we moved into our current Beaverton location in Cedar Hills Crossing. While it’s smaller than our flagship store, it has an incredible 32,500 square feet of space and with it, the ability to accommodate much larger events than Burnside. We’ve hosted Felicia Day, Grumpy Cat, B. Dylan Hollis, David Sedaris, and Matt Dinniman (we see you, Crawlers!) Just to name a few. As of 2023, Powell’s at Cedar Hills is the official home of the Bookolith, a 7’ tall book structure which was created in 2020 as part of Powell’s Books 50th anniversary celebration. It serves as the events backdrop at Cedar Hills and is slowly being overtaken by live plants. Whether you’re a frequent guest of Powell’s at Cedar Hills, or you’ve been waiting for an excuse to check us out, we invite you to join us today (9/19) for our 20th birthday celebration!
