This is my point exactly. It turns into a dick measuring contest over who has better ski resorts, wineries, weed, breweries, mountain ranges, coastline, beaches, hiking etc. Now imagine living in fucking Dallas, Houston, Atlanta etc. for a bit and realizing how pedantic that argument is when you have (almost) none of those.YellowSnow 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:
Washington, of course.CaptainPJ said:
So who won?!!creepycoug said: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.
Lake Chelan was the tie breaker. The Oregonians had no answer. -
Eastern Oregon's got Bend (technically central but east of the mountains so whatever), Steens Mountain, the Alvord Desert, the Wallowas, the Elkhorns, Newberry, the Oregon Outback, and the Columbia River also... The list goes on. For outdoorsy, Eastern O has Eastern WA licked.GrundleStiltzkin said:
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.

That said, my favorite land area anywhere is north central Washington and the greater Chelan Valley. That area, which is the analog to Canada's Okanogan, is heaven on earth for me.
Glacier carved fjords are cool af. -
Washington has Portland and Seattle. Oregon has bend. Washington wins rather easily.

Disagree...if Washington has both Portland and Seattle, they lose rather bigly.haie said:Washington has Portland and Seattle. Oregon has bend. Washington wins rather easily.

And anybody who thinks swill out of Oregon is in the same league as Walla Walla and the Columbia Basin is out of their fucking mind.
E. WA doesn’t begin and end at Lake Chelan. -
"Oregon coast > Washington coast "
Literally sark>ty poty. -
Anderson island would like to have a word with you about fresh water in the Sound.creepycoug said:
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:
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:
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:
Seattle is objectively superior to Portland, and I say this as someone who hates both cities.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.
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.
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.
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'm just going to focus on the most egregious of those comments: Yes. Yes, it does. -

Not saying E. WA is bad. It's great. You're right... The Selkirks, Chelan, the Palouse, etc... All great. But I'll take E. Oregon 9 times out of 10 vs. E. WA. It's a different league. Not many understand the splendor of E. Oregon.PurpleThrobber said:

I am an Oregonian who has a second home 2 miles out of Rainier National Park. I am also a major outdoor enthusiast - mostly hiking. I'll take Seattle over Portland. Mt. Rainier over Mt. Hood. Oregon coast over WA coast (except Long Beach is excellent). Eastern Oregon over eastern Washington (though I love Spokane). One thing we can all agree upon is some of the most beautiful parts of WA and OR are shared along the southern border in the form of the Columbia River Gorge.
Yet with all of the beauty found in both states, 9 months out of the year I want to off-myself due to grey skies, rain, and the inability to tell whether it is 5AM or 5PM most dreary days. -
You'll have to go back to Oregon for that.QuackAddict said:I am an Oregonian who has a second home 2 miles out of Rainier National Park. I am also a major outdoor enthusiast - mostly hiking.

Bachelor has way better vertical than either Crystal or Baker. They get plenty of snow. Far shorter lift lines than Crystal on the weekends.PostGameOrangeSlices said:

Bachelor is the only thing in Oregon that is better than anything comparable in Washington. That doesn't mean Bachelor is better than EVERYTHING in Washington because it isn't. Don't twist.YellowSnow said:

Portland and Seattle are like Coke and Pepsi. They share more similarities with each other than they do with anything else. But Coke is better and so is Seattle.ntxduck 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.
