In Portland, I've never seen the direction at the end of the street address. It's always <house number> <direction> <street name>.

A lot of the City of Portland systems have you input your house number, street name, then direction so (guessing) they can validate it. Of course, browsers have been filling form fields for many, many years and I wish they'd just put an address field there.

Here's more detail about the naming system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_layout_of_Seattle

Chicago uses a similar system.
