>>I lived in Portland, OR back in the mid 80s. Absolutely beautiful and a great area. I used to work in the PacWest Center for Morgan Stanley. I lived in Vancouver, WA as well, and I prefer Portland :)

>I've visited a few times. It's nice and green there, compared to the East side of the mountains where we currently live. Our office is in Hillsboro. We're moving to temporary housing there (furnished apartment), about 2 blocks from the office, until we can find a house to buy. We're thinking about buying somewhere a little farther to the north, Scappoose area. Or maybe Warren.

I'm prejudiced, but I like the west and southwest area. I once lived on SW Lancaster and also off of SW Barnes Rd. There is the commuter to Hillsboro now from Portland.

Warren? Do you like a daily drive or will you be able to work remotely? It's a half hour from Scappoose to Hillsboro and further from Warren... and in the winter, the roads are I*C*Y...
