Portland is a great place for beginning families. Wonderful climate but can be somewhat wet in the spring. Winters have gotten warmer so it rains here but only a few miles away is snow and skiing.going the other direction is the pacific ocean but you'll need a wet suit! We tend to roll up the streets early here, not too many late night spots. Great food abounds in portland. This a bike friendly very green city. Great summer festivals, saturday markets, jazz festivals...lots to do. Housing has gotten a bit expensive, gas too, but no tax on the dollar.
