I spent three days in the Portland area earlier this month visiting my father. It's a nice town, very picturesque. I can see why people want to live there.whlinder said:I broke my 20 year Oregon free streak this year, stepping foot in Portland for approximately 15 hours.
Of course, an east-coast resident not visiting a worthless, irrelevant western state for 20 years is not particularly interesting. However, my Grandmother (UW alum) lived there at the end of her life and my aunt/uncle/cousins lived there and we had a family beach house on the coast, so as a kid I visited at least every other year. That all stopped when my Grandma died which was right before I started at UW. Beach house sold too in order to help pay for both me and one of my cousins to go to UW.
Skipped funerals and invites to my aunt/uncle's new beach house on the coast to maintain avoidance of that 3rd world state. But I broke down and went to visit my aunt briefly in between work meetings since she's getting old.
The 15 hours was enough to justify the past 20 years. Ain't no reason to go there unless you have to.
Personally I'm in favor of Oregon as a state. I go there to buy things tax free. -
agree with this somewhat - except Seattle, Portland, and any city you were thinking about is a pile of shitntxduck said:
This. People from Portland love to talk shit on Seattle and people from Seattle love to talk shit on Portland. What that really means is that they probably haven't lived or traveled much outside of the NW. Spend some time extended time in the other major cities (aside from Austin, Denver, and San Diego--which are the only ones I personally would put up there with the NW) and you'll realize how great both Portland and Seattle are in comparison.RatherBeBrewing said:Portland and Seattle, Washington and Oregon - those are the same things. If you think the place you’re taking shits is better or different then you’re wrong.
Same shit. Trees, rain, hobos. Just a few degrees latitude difference. Amazon, Microsoft, Intel, Nike. Same shit.
Sales tax and pumping gas are the difference, that’s it. We have to rely on our football teams to tell us what is better. -
I 😂 at Portland people who are big 12s. Talk shit about Seattle, but when the Seahawks win it’s “we”. Nothing worse than a duck 12. Most are from with Hillsboro or Gresham. Which are pretty much the same town 30 miles apart.ntxduck said:

Portland is a sports town but most of the alums are beavlet and the NBA is only relevant for 2 months out of the year.chuck said:

Same exact shit. It’s the same city, just two hours away. I have to spend time in both, and there’s no difference. Portland has better food, Seattle is less stabby.PurpleJ said:

Are you sure she didn't say "meth"?Doog_de_Jour said:My sister (NO PICS!) used to date a guy who went to the University of Oregon. I asked her what he majored in and she replied, “math”.
To which I replied, “did he do his senior project on the multiplication table?” -
You all laugh, but this was a real live debate over at Doogman years back. It morphed into a state level debate where people were comparing / competing over which state had the better geographical topography and greater natural beauty. CastlerockRon/royotis was throwing down for Washington, arguing that Oregon just didn't have an answer for Mt. Rayonier. There were protracted arguments between morons over whether Olympic National Park was better than Crescent Lake, etc. etc.
This literally went on for months and people were taking it seriously. -

As someone who likes both Seattle and Portland, they are way fucking different
Seattle is an international city with a fuckton of business and construction going on. It feels like living in a big city to live here and work downtown
Portland is what you get if you combined Tacoma, Eugene, and Spokane. Fun to visit and go to clubs in. Not a big city feeling. Walking around feels like youre in Tacoma. -

Not to mention there's a significant difference in geography (sorry creep) throughout the rest of each respective state. The sound and islands are uniquely WA, and there's an actual mountain range running through the spine of the state. OR meanwhile has a developed coast line that WA doesn't have, yet outside of a few isolated peaks, lacks an actual range. Then there's the huge differences between the two cities that you brought up.PostGameOrangeSlices said:RatherBeBrewing said:

I'm not going to dive into the dick measuring contest between the two, but it's incredibly stupid to try to make the case that the two states are one and the same. They're not. This is not an Iowa versus Nebraska case study. -

Lake Chelan was the tie breaker. The Oregonians had no answer. -

There's an actual mountain range running through Oregon. The difference in actual height of the range is hard to discern and is a detail to the average outdoorsman. Agreed on the Sound. Coastal Oregon is just better than coastal Washington except for the ONP stretch which competes well, but Oregon wins the coast thing hands down, and not just because of development.GreenRiverGatorz said:

They are not exactly the same but they share many, many similarities. Oregon has a lot of very beautiful wilderness areas ... that was the point of my post. Two idiots once tried to make this an actual debate, when there's really nothing to debate.
About 1/2 dozen of my favorite places in the world are in Washington and about 1/2 dozen are in Oregon. The Sound is pretty to look at but island life in the Sound, and the Sound itself, isn't in my wheelhouse. We like to take a ferry ride now and then but I'm a freshwater guy up here and a salt water guy in the tropics. Never, ever the other way around. -
I'd give Portland a whole lot more credit than that. Agree not a big city feeling but combing those three nowhere cities under-values Portland as a great mid-size city.PostGameOrangeSlices said:RatherBeBrewing said:

I have to go with Oregon from a geological / topography perspective. I prefer Bachelor to any of the WA ski resorts although Seattle is way closer to Whistler. Oregon's wine country is way better than Washington's. Oregon coast is better too. The Bend / Sunriver area is fantastic.creepycoug said:

Tacoma has actually turned a corner as far as places to hang out. The old Seattle culture that couldn't afford to stick around is moving south to Tacoma.creepycoug said:

One thing is certain, Eastern Oregon>>>>Eastern Washington and it's not even close. Love me some Eastern Oregon.

Heh, was about to come say the opposite. Other than Bend/Redmond, Eastern Oregon sucks in my opinion. Difference being no Columbia River to moisten up the joint.CallMeBigErn said:One thing is certain, Eastern Oregon>>>>Eastern Washington and it's not even close. Love me some Eastern Oregon.
