You have to consider the land mass difference between the 2 states as well. You draw the boundaries on a state the size of Oregon and you're bound to capture a few good locations.
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.
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.
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.

Seattle is objectively superior to Portland, and I say this as someone who hates both cities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Selkirks, Palouse Falls and Lake Roosevelt say kiss my lily white ass.
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.
As someone who grew up in E Wa. I’ve got to check you on both the Selkirks that are actually in Idaho and Canada and the Walla Walla swill. As far as Eastern Or and Eastern Wa, the swill is a wash. However the Willamette Valley is right up there with Sonoma in quality of wines nowadays. And Central Or has its own Roosevelt in Billy Chinook.
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.
So who won?!!
Washington, of course.
Lake Chelan was the tie breaker. The Oregonians had no answer.
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.
Crystal and Baker are both ten times better than Bachelor what the actual fuck
Bachelor has way better vertical than either Crystal or Baker. They get plenty of snow. Far shorter lift lines than Crystal on the weekends.
Snow quality is much better as well. It’s the only resort in the Cascades that gets snow that resembles true powder.
I guess I should have known that referencing a retarded argument from 18 years ago (literally that long ago) would cause us to do what? Renew that retarded argument in 2019. I really should have known.
when you consider that 81% of the retards from 18 years ago are here, yes, yes you should have considered that

I was just on an Oregon board and read some peculiar things. Apparently we Husky fans "throw bread" at Ducks... lol genius if that's the truth and we're sellouts because Alaska Airlines is stamped on our stadiums/arenas.
Peculiar considering the only reason Oregon even has a pulse in athletics is because of Nike.

Should change the name of Husky Stadium to Bozos Field, Amazon Stadium

Retards gunna retard.
It takes one to know one.
That's it. You asked for it you little faggot. You're are in my cross hairs now. I will have you screaming out of your mind by the time I'm done with you you stupid little retard bitch. You will be begging Derek for help. Hwlo thatbwill never come.
@YellowSnow claiming Oregon has superior geography is embarassing
WA State only has 4 fucking mountain ranges (Cascades, Olympics, Selkirks, Blues), the most rugged range in the lower 48 (N. Cascades), 5 fucking real and tuff Volcanoes (Glacier Peak counts), a dense mossy rainforest, a fjord with tons of islands in it, the god damn Enchantments.
Eastern Oregon is a wasteland east of Smith Rock. WA state actually has bodies of water and a river going through it. There is jack shit for hundreds of miles except scrub pine in Eastern Oregon.
WA state wilderness is the big leagues, Oregon is the minors. The only thing I would say Oregon has over WA is better coastline, but WA has some great spots too.
This thread really outs those who actually do outdoorsy shit from those who ski in Aspen and pretend.
