DH and I are considering moving and are considering Portland as a possible city to move to, and we'd love to hear what you guys think about the city, the surrounding areas and the people who live there. Any general or specific opinions are welcome.

We'd like to know if the people are genuine and if they are open to friendships. Are they welcoming to outsiders, more than just on a surface level? We'd also like to know about the business culture (are people direct, or passive/aggressive, or something else entirely?). What do you think of the cost of living? Also, we'd like to know if Portland is as rainy/cloudy as Seattle or if it gets a lot of sun, and we'd like to know what the seasons are like. And anything else you think we should know

Thanks in advance!
