Wow, more great info all!! Thanks so much. I'm copying this all down to take with me. I can't wait!!

So, any PNW TE women interested in getting together for coffee, lunch, dinner, entertainment, whatever...while I'm there? I've made plans with a friend for Friday night, but I'm open all day on Saturday.

OMG - I got an offer!

It's for less than I'd originally wanted because I screwed up the technical part of the interview, but it's still an offer with a nice relocation package.

DH and I are going to have a heart to heart about it tonight. We may be moving to Portland in the near future! Eeek!

Congrats on the offer! Hopefully you can negotiate something satisfactory.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

I hate to see you leave NC, but know that you'll be happy whatever you decide (and you WILL make the right decision). Good luck, whatever you decide

Congrats! How exciting for you.

I realize this thread is kinda old but I would love to hear about the cost of real estate in Portland? I plan to do an externship there because I am seriously considering it as a site for my practice when I finish school. I know the cycling is awesome but I'd still love to hear more about that too

I think some areas of Portland are higher than others, much depends on your housing criteria. The closer in toward downtown, the higher the prices, though you can find some reasonable prices just a littler further east (Portland is significantly bounded on the west by our west hills).

For more about our biking life, you can check out a bikeportland.org, bta4bikes.org, or do a search on bicycling in Portland. With my work now located practically on the Willamette in downtown Portland (aka PDX), I am lovin' bike commuting, many route options and I find really pleasant sights. There are several bike clubs/orgs and there always seem to some kind of bike related event going on.
