The attack occurred shortly before 7:15 p.m. Monday, along Columbia Street just north of West Eighth Street and Esther Short Park.
Storro, 28, was found sitting on the sidewalk screaming with pain after acid was thrown into her face. Bystanders helped her and summoned paramedics and police.
Storro, a Vancouver resident, now is a patient at the Oregon Burn Center at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland. She suffered severe burns to her face in the attack and has undergone surgery.
Police have been checking out about 20 calls from people who want to help find the assailant, and detectives are hoping for more tips.
Storro described her attacker as "pretty," and said she thinks she had three piercings at the top of her left ear. She said the woman was black, wore no makeup, and had black hair pulled back into a ponytail. Storro said the woman who threw the acid was approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall. She was wearing a green top and khaki shorts.
The assailant also was described as being between age 25 and 35.
Police say the assailant may have a slight build.
Those with information are asked to call Detective Wally Stefan at 360-487-7425.
