Ocean, mountains, desert, we have it all

We're right by the ocean, the mountains, the desert, we get snow & sun.....we have it all.
I know it rains but it's never bothered me that much because it makes it so green and pretty. Some places are so brown.
It would be nice to have a few more sunny days, but I guess you can't have everything.
Portlanders are not fashion conscious, very laid back and casual when it comes to clothing. Designer bags and $400 shoes do not impress here.
I think the people are very friendly. We are a bit liberal in Portland but it's all relative, it's what makes us so tolerant. It's an integrated area and I haven't noticed racism like the one poster encountered.
All in all, I think Portland is quirky and beautiful.
