Yeah, I'd be interested in folks' thoughts on Portland/Seattle. Considering a move up the west coast from SF.
Do it! Move now.
Amazing things to eat and drink, small and friendly, extremely walkable and bikeable, verdant and fresh, and is extremely close (30 min) to beautiful gorges, mountains, forests, and coastlines. You can get a 1br for $800, or a really fancy studio for $1k, or pay $500 with some roommates.
