I know we've got some North-westerners, anybody in Portland? I've just accepted a job out there and will be moving next month. Anybody got a scoop on neighborhoods?
Oh, and hurray for me!

Hurray for you! I'm a bit of a ways away from there to have anything to say though.
Good luck and congrats.

I've only driven through, but it looked nice (from a distance, since I drove through on I-5). One day we intend to do another fly-drive up the West coast, but starting from SF this time - the landscape between LA & SF got to be a bit tedious, plus there was the whole getting-lost-in-LA-on-the-freeways-in-rush-hour thing - so we can go along highway 101, see some redwoods, and maybe take in Portland. We might even go to Seattle again, since my wife thinks Charles is lovely.
All this depends on what age we think it'd be fair to subject our daughter to long days in a car. She seems to have inherited my attention span. . . Ooh! There's a hailstorm outside! *rushes off to look out the window*

Well, I'm hear and have been for a couple of weeks now. I like it, now I just have to find a place to live before the family comes out end of May.
Work is interesting too, which is always nice.

Ya know, I checked apartment prices in Portland the other night just for kicks... The webpage has a disclaimer about how not to be shocked- "Portland has cost of living rates 20% higher than the country's adverage".
Waaaay cheaper than living in Fort Lauderdale.
