Grimm Episode 21 Portland filming locations

Hank figuring things out on nbc.com/grimm
Grimm Episode 21: "Big Feet"
In this episode: "...Nick learns the suspected creature and friend of Monroe is suffering from a mysterious condition... the inability to completely return to human form."
Aired: May 11, 9pm PST

This might be the best forest footage yet. Also some great local spotlights. No bridges this week.

The show opens with a Blair Witch style video and 2 guys tracking down Bigfoot, somewhere around "Bluff Creek Valley".

Stables 
& Forest Outside the Stables
Juliette gets called out to "Tom Carson's ranch" to check on a horse that has been attacked. This may have been at or near the Roloff Farm in Hillsboro (near Helvetia Tavern, see below), as their site has been used to stage for Grimm filming.

Brinkerhoff's lecture in a library
The lecture scenes were filmed on location at the Crumpacker Family Library in the Portland Art Museum.  Confirmed here on their Facebook page; (the scene shows up at minute 22:54 for those of you who want to track it down).

"Located on the second floor of the Mark Building, the Library’s comfortable reading room and irreplaceable, non-circulating collection provide an urban retreat for anyone interested in art."

A few good Monroe quotes:
"I may have Bigfoot sleeping on my couch."
"A group of us meet at the Helvetia Tavern...it's like an informal support group."

One little question:
Hey, what happened to Wu's crazy eating habits?

  1. Found it! Brinkerhoff's Lecture in the library was filmed at the Crumpacker Family Library, at the Portland Art Museum downtown. Confirmed by library's Facebook page, episode was filmed in early April. A fun find from a librarian.
