It's HUGE and it's a tourist attraction of sorts. When friends visit they always ask if we can go to Powell's. If you search for things to do in Portland or even grab some tourist pamphlets, it's typically listed.

I put it on my to do list when I went to Portland a while back. Spent several hours there. Had to fly home with books. It would be dangerous if I lived in Portland.
