What a Wonderful Day in Hollywood!

Written By Heidi Settlemier

A huge thank you to the Portland Rose Festival Committee, the Royal Rosarians, the Portland Police Bureau, and the Hollywood Boosters Business Association for helping organize such a fantastic community event today!

The Junior Rose Parade was a tremendous success! With beautiful weather, enthusiastic participants, and a wonderful turnout from families and neighbors, the Hollywood District was filled with smiles, creativity, and community spirit.

It was especially heartwarming to see so many children, families, volunteers, and community members come together to celebrate one of Portland’s most cherished traditions. Events like these remind us what makes our city and neighborhoods so special.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, cheered from the sidelines, and helped make this year’s parade a memorable celebration of community, tradition, and Portland pride.

Aunt Tillie’s Deli hosted all of us afterwards and as always, provided excellent sandwiches, salads and refreshments along with friendly service! Thank you!

Here’s to keeping the spirit of the Rose Festival alive for generations to come!

Hollywood Boosters, President

Hi, I’m Heidi Settlemier with Alameda Realty. I’m a third-generation Realtor with over 25 years of experience, and I’ve lived in Northeast Portland—specifically the Alameda neighborhood—my entire life.

That means when I’m pricing, marketing, and negotiating your home, I’m not just relying on data—I’m bringing real, firsthand knowledge of the neighborhood, the homes, and the buyers who want to be here.

I specialize in older homes, and I understand how to position them in today’s market to attract the right buyers and maximize your return. My approach is very strategic, but also very honest—I’ll always tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to protect your investment, guide you through the process, and get you the strongest possible outcome with the least amount of stress.

In my free time I enjoy traveling, skiing, boating, running, hiking, volunteering and spending time with my friends & family.

I am president of the Hollywood Boosters Business Association, member of the Hollywood Lions Club, and a member & volunteer bartender at the East Portland Moose Lodge.
