Mild winters, many colleges, close to beaches and mountains. I pretty good music scene, close to Vancouver BC,Pro sports such as the Mariners and Seahawks.<br>If I didn't live in Portland most of my life I would consider Seattle. Plus their economy seems to be the best in the NW with both Boeing and Microsoft as anchors. Housing can be expensive, but that's relative. You can always find affordable housing if you live outside of the city center.</p>Mike3Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:02:43 -0000
