For anyone looking to more here you need to know about the Urban Growth boundary. a boundary set years ago to prevent sprawl. The boundary is moved when all land in the bundary is utilized. This is creating a tight city and row house are going up everywhere. Most new homes are VERY cramped together due to the land crunch. The Metro area is controlled by a group that wants to create a traffic problem so large everyone takes mass transit and commutes to nature outside or at the many designated parks. If the direction keeps going this area will become a concrete jungle in the midst of a beautiful wet forest.
Oregon rains alot, Few sunny days, National average for suny days is low and has been as bad as not a single sunny day until 4th or july in 1999 This year 2006 is a close second. It has rained and been very cold this year that most residents are not sure we will get a summer. Last year after a late summer, a wet winter set in right away. Our backyard which in 5 yrs has not flooded, flooded and had to be drained 5 times due to the excessive rain.
If you like being water logged, don't need much sun and love green areas and don't like urban sprawl then you will do ok.
