Anyone from the Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA area?
 

If so, I was wondering if you could give some information on the area. I'm from Arkansas and currently in limbo with my living situation and unemployment...currently staying in DFW area.

Could you describe the area for me...such as nice to live in the area, affordability/cost of living, things to do, the women, attitude of people, etc. What are you're impressions of the area?

Hey jikhead,

I currently live in Vancouver, WA and am in Portland very often since my girl lives there. Aside from it raining nearly 80% of the time, it's very beautiful and there are some of the nicest people that I've ever met living here. I'm not sure how cheap rent is relative to Arkansas but I'm from Southern Cali and relative to there, the Pacific NW is super super cheap. I'm paying about 1/4 the amount of rent as in Cali and my place is 2 times as big... One major thing I like about this area is that everyone is pretty relaxed. The traffic is not too bad and there are a lot of cool events happening all the time in Portland. I'm not sure what else you want to know. Just ask away. I'll answer what I can.
