I think the places they start and stop the tour have more to do with scheduling and availability of venues/artists than some other significance.

It means they can sell out Portland, and a total of 5 shows in the pacific Northwest. Pretty good for a region that was skipped over in 1985 and only one show in 1987!!!
Portland also got a Bono speaking engagement in Oct 2004, which I attended. Seems silly for Bono to visit the Rose Garden twice in 6 months.
It's also not differnet than Oregon/Seattle dates of the popmart tour being 6 months apart. Speaking of the 1997, they played the final US show in Seattle.

And plan some extra time for all that snow you guys have up there.
I'm driving from OC. It'll take a day and half more or less. I love to drive.
