@courtney Welcome, Courtney, to #Oregon, #PDX and the gorgeous #PNW. I am in Portlandia a few times each year, short drive from down here in #Eugene.
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.
You picked the perfect time of year to start your PNW experience.
@Av8rdan Thanks! I arrived last Sept so I've experienced half the annual cycle so far. I'm loving it, even the gray and rainy times.
@courtney We really do have some great WX here compared to most of the country. Yes, rainy at times, gray and 1 or 2 nasty snow/ice storm a year, but no hurricanes, wildfires (on the west side of the Cascades), massive floods or tornadoes.
