I am in Portlandia a few times each year, short drive from down here in <a href="https://squawk.mytransponder.com/tags/Eugene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eugene</span></a>. </p><p>Lots to love about the PDX. I am assuming the vibe you are finding is more akin to Austin, lots of creative people, very few Red Hat sightings, great pizza (if you can handle the price, Grrr). I could not live there with a car, traffic is crazy and parking is like ThunderDome. </p><p>You picked the perfect time of year to start your PNW experience.</p>
