I live in Beaverton, if that counts? =)
I know there's a couple other DR players in town too, though I've never met them in game or out, so I don't recall who they are exactly. In a broader scope, one of my best friends lives in Eugene, and I keep trying to persuade Tykyra to give up on Seattle but those Washingtonians are a stubborn lot.
At any rate, welcome to Portland!

Furry, I thought I told you. I already lived in Portland, before I moved to Seattle. I don't like it there. I'll come visit, but I won't live there. Besides, I think there are more of us up here then down there. So you need to come up here.

This is going to be the first year in a while I have not been up to either Eugene or Portland. Eugene is my home town. I kind of miss it up there. I think I might move up there again soon, probably to portland though.

I can't really explain why I don't like Portland. I just don't. Never have. It -might- be because as a child I spent many, many summers around the Seattle area so I have fond memories and feelings attached to the area and don't with Portland. I do remember always thinking that Portland looks dingy and dirty, it -might- be that as well. But then, Seattle does to, I just don't always think about that living here.
But just because I don't like living there doesn't mean I wouldn't be up to going for a visit. There are some pretty cool brew pubs.

Portland is the most amazing, bike friendly, green, eco-concious, tree hugging, dog loving city ever to be listed as one of the most polluted Superfund sites in the US...welcome! I have lived in Portland all my life outside of military service, and it is incredible. Lewis and Clark is a superb college choice, fire an email to my play.net address and maybe I will buy you a coffee on Hawthorne sometime.

Hey Knott's isn't too bad. Although I have to admit I'm biased since I love the Chicken House. But they did open up a new coaster, Silver Bullet which is really nice, and the Halloween Haunts they have are pretty good too.
