Singer/songwriter Drake was in our part of the Northwest with Lil' Wayne to perform a show across the Columbia River at the Sleep Country Amphitheater on Saturday night. 

But Drake was also spotted in a downtown Portland hotel, as well as on the streets of Vancouver with an old buddy of his. Lil' Wayne was spotted outside the Hotel Vintage Plaza.

Drake is a friend of former Toronto Raptor Terrence Ross, who is said to have family in Vancouver. As for Portland sightings, Drake was seen coming and going from downtown Portland's Hotel Monaco. 

The concert itself snarled weekend traffic on I-5 near the Sleep Country Amphitheater. Interesting to note, the last time Drake performed in Portland one of his tour trucks completely shut down traffic when it crashed near the Moda Center late last year.
