I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life and I love it! Sure it rains, but the beauty that it brings more than makes up for it. You see, most people when they think of Oregon and Washington, they think it rains all the time.
At times it does seem like that, but, with that rain comes year round beauty. We have some of the most wonderful campgrounds, skiing, and beaches in the world because of this rain. I think that is more than a fair trade, and if you ask people who have visited Oregon, you will find that they say they can't believe how beautiful it is.
You see the perception is that we are just wet and cold, but the reality is once you look past it, it can be the greatest place on earth! Everything is within 2 hours of Portland, so if you want to do something, as our local Nike campus would say - JUST DO IT!
At one time we had a Governor with (I am hoping) a sense of humor? He put up a sign at our border that said "Visit, but don't stay!" He knew we were a beautiful place and I guess he wanted to share it in short bursts or didn't need his relatives staying.
But, we have changed our minds here and we would love to have you. So pack up the moving truck, and find out why Oregon is such a wonderful place to live.
