Grimm Episode 8 Portland filming locations

And your gratuitous Portland Bridge Footage of the Week is the.......Hawthorne Bridge!

Grimm Episode 8 "Game Ogre"
A synopsis of this week's episode: "A string of brutal murders leads Nick and Hank to a man who recently escaped prison."

Aired: Friday, Jan. 13, 9/8c


Guess what? That "man who recently escaped prison" is a big ogre, and that big ogre is actually a local boy. According to The Columbian: 
"Eric Edelstein, 34, a Vancouver native and Hollywood actor, guest-starred as the supernatural ogre in the episode “Game Ogre” on Friday’s episode of “Grimm,” ..."

The opening scene brings us the first murder of the episode, in the home of a local official named Logan Patterson. Apparently his character attended "Camas School of Law", as the diploma prominently displayed on the wall states. Huh?

Next we find the big ogre hanging out in his car, drinking, and throwing a severed hand into the river along the Eastside Esplanade, SE side under the Hawthorne Bridge.
