I lived in Portland Oregon for about 25 years and have traveled to nearly every state in the US. I am currently residing in Dallas Texas and there is no comparison to the west coast. Dallas has wonderful weather from October thru June and employment is less difficult to find here but it is dry, flat and lacks any personality.
Portland on the otherhand has so many recreational activities and things to do. The coast is an hour and half away west, skiing/snowboarding is and hour away and the desert in the eastern portion of the state is also close by.
The diversity in non-chain restaurants is amazing and there are plenty of pubs and trendy martini bars as well.
