and have friends out there

>Cost of living?
they say it's low (compared to NY which 2 of them were coming from before Portland). sub 1000 for rent seems norm. i can't speak on house prices but there's condos going up. tall ones even

>Family life?
can't speak on that

>Employment potential?
i was told this isn't so great. lots of kids moving to work for nike or ad firms but they don't pay well and the potential to advance isn't that high.

>Weather trends?
summers are glorious
winters are rainy and a lil gloomy but there was some sun when i was out there. temps in the high 30s-mid 50s
