Description and history
[edit]According to Portland Monthly, Steam Portland allows trans men and nonbinary people "if they legally identify as male or X" on identity documents.[1] The bathhouse opened in 2003 and has been called "sleek".[2] Amenities include a nude sun deck, a hot tub and steam bath, a lounge, and video booths.[3][4]
The privately owned[5] bathhouse was among the first businesses in Portland to close temporarily because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
