Moving back to Portland at the end of summer and my wife and I are never leaving the northwest again, there is no point in leaving, the rest of the country isn't worth living in.

Welcome cailes!

There's a lot of good information in these subforums of things to do, but feel free to post any questions. I'm sure everyone would be willing and excited to share their favorite places to go and be in Portland.

I am from Indianapolis and my wife and I are moving to Portland in late June. Excited to be part of the discussions here and contributing to civic/public realm of PDX in general.

PS: Don't trust a word Cailes says.

Speaking of newcomers, in the parking lot of my apartment complex the other day, I saw three Idaho tags, two Washington's, two Florida's, one Maryland, one New Mexico, three Californian's and two Alaskan's.

Off the top of my head, my building's garage has/or recently had plates from the following (note that some of these listed now have Oregon plates):

2 UAE plates, one from Abu Dhabi and one from Dubai
1 Qatar
2 British Columbia
1 Iowa
1 Connecticut
1 Maryland
1 North Dakota
1 Washington DC
2 Michigan
2 Minnesota
1 Massachusetts
1 Alberta
1 South Carolina
1 Indiana
2 Louisiana
2 Tennessee
1 Texas
1 Wisconsin
3 Idaho
2 Montana
3 Virginia
2 Colorado
1 Arizona
1 Hawaii
1 Alaska
2 Missouri
10 Washington (give or take a few)
5 California
1 Pennsylvania
1 New Jersey
3 Florida
1 New York
1 Nevada

Probably a few I'm missing...


I'm convinced every single person in this building is from out of state.

I am a native Oregonian. Silverton, to be precise. I have lived in PDX my whole adult life..
The people I generally meet that are part of the influx refer to natives with cute names like 'Unicorn' and such. It's actually a pride point to be a native, and seemingly more rare and quaint. Most natives that I know are quite welcoming of newbs.. The people who've been here for 6-10 years are seemingly the ones who are becoming super-protective of our fair city/state.. I'm no cultural anthropologist, but it's an interesting time to be here and observe the change that's afoot.. Enjoy!
