Portland resident here. I agree with the excerpts from other posters below

“Take 95 to 26 to 77 to 81 to 84 to 290 to 495 to 95.”

“I would recommend taking 485W & N around Charlotte, unless you like traffic. Also watch rush hour there. That would miss about 19 miles of 77. It is about 5 miles longer. You'll most likely still hit some traffic on 77, but you should miss the worst by not going through Charlotte.”
