About

Portland Octopus is a branch of Selliken Systems, LLC.  We are a local software development company producing HomeQuest, a map-based real estate productivity tool, as well as a real estate brokerage known as MRealty.  We absolutely love Portland but have never quite been satisfied with the community networking websites available.  We thought we could do a better job of providing this service ourselves.  And so, Portland Octopus was born.  Music, food, art, architecture, hiking, biking, sports, festivals, local beer, wine and spirits!  We are here to celebrate all that Portland has to offer!  From those born and raised here to those who just recently drifted into town, we hope you will find Portland Octopus to be not only a handy resource, but a network to your community.

Our staff is small in number but monumental in spirit.  We are:

Haley – Office Manager, Advocate of green team

Amir – Graphic Designer, Contributor, Hair style aficionado

Garron – Founder, Contributor, Man About Town

Alicia – Contributor, Woman About Town

Jason – Pearl District Expert, super cool dude
