My husband and i moved to Portland about a year ago ... and love it! We live in the area called 'the NorthWest'. It is just on the North-Westren outskirts of down-town and very close to Forest Park. i love that I can ride my road or mtb right out my door and into the forest or onto the amazing roads in the area.

The rain isn't that bad ... and the city is very cool. Great for outdoors people! We absolutely love it here! I'd reccomend Portland to anyone!
