…roaring coastline….
…high desert…
…and an abundance of waterfalls…
…we offer everything you could need…
… including some very specific medical procedures.

Been there, love it.

Wow... Just wow... (From switzerland)..

Lots of great nature. The city of Portland has gone a bit downhill though.

Oregon has amazing camping, too.
rubypilgrim
Great place for the ladies to go camping.
AvidApostate
But not the friendliest of people, in my experience.

Depends on where you go imo

How’s the “camping” ?
linecookdaddy
I like beaches, but I like forests right next to beaches even more. Oregon rules
Neuroticmama91
The best part about the PNW in my honest opinion

Come visit Washington while you’re in the neighborhood. We have many… similar features.

Glad to see you didn't leave out the high desert!

Portland is awesome! An hour in one direction, you’re in the mountains. An hour in the other direction, you’re at the coast.

Seems lovely. I was only in florida a few times but never anywhere else in the US. Must see
AgainstMethod
Florida's cool, but it's a pretty unique area. The Pacific Northwest is incredible.

I've seen a series with some cool dude and a women solving crimes in Washington (?) and it all looked awesome
PDXDragon
It rains here all the time. It's about average for inches of rain in a year, but #4 for shitty gray wet days in a year.
WTactualF
Oregonian here, we do have some exceptional camping. HMU if anyone needs helping getting to a good camping spot in Oregon

I wrote a report on Oregon in 2nd grade. The state sent me a huge packet of cool stuff, including stickers and pencils! I’ll never forget.

We did this too when i lived in NY...i think most states will if you ask?

I came here to share the same quote. It’s a classic
AgainstMethod
You get that same smug NIMBY vibe in every nice mid-sized town in America, but it's usually subtext. Oregon's built a whole identity off it.
ScootiePuffJrSucks
I love my state.
KhajiitIsPleased
Genuine question, what's the summer like up there? Me and the heat dont get along
StraightOuttaOptions
Warm and dry. Typically 70-80 most days, little to no humidity. The rest of the year it rains.
FatBastardVegetarian
Only state in the lower 48 I've missed.
AgainstMethod
I'm trying to think how I would even get to Washington, Idaho, *and* California without also setting foot in Oregon.
FatBastardVegetarian
Not hard. Flew to Seattle. Flew to LA. Flew to San Fran. Was in Southern Idaho. Closest I got was three hours (just to the border).
TheElGordo
You haven’t even talked about all the TRAILS Oregon has to offer.
StraightOuttaOptions
The scenic I-84 corridor stretches all the way from Idaho to Portland. From, you journey past the arid Alvord desert, and Steen’s mountain.
StraightOuttaOptions
Take I-5 if you’re coming from California or Washington. Or, just fly into PDX. Whatever works for you,
TheElGordo
Which one can I stop and hunt bears from?

I think we’re calling it “camping” these days
Nerfgunner
It's a legitimate strategy!
StraightOuttaOptions
Oregon is a great place for camping, though came under fire for it’s stance on physician assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
AgainstMethod
Of all the facts about Oregon you could have picked, this seems like an odd one.

I'd love to visit, but my family kept dying of dysentery every time we tried to make the trip.

Sorry, claiming refugee status from Texas. I'll be there in October.

I respect that. I was prepared to claim refugee status if Drumpf was elected this last cycle.

Living in the UK, with our pop. of 67m in an area smaller than an avg size US state, I find it mad any american saying the country is full
WTactualF
Not full, just don’t want anymore people. Lots of nature and still pretty rural throughout Oregon.
manbearpigatemybaby
We value land in its natural state, its just how Oregon people are. And the way towns expand here is just gross and sprawli3and disgusting.
HavetsHerren
Have you heard about Euclidian zoning? That's the main reason why the USA look full when they are empty AF.
usernamenamesolongifyoutagmeinyourcommentyouwonthavemuchspace
We're about the same size of Oregon, but with equivalent of 1/4 of the entire US population living here.
manbearpigatemybaby
If we expanded up , and made walkable cities and had public transportation, i would love more people.
AgainstMethod
Are Oregonians all unwelcoming nativists or is this just a played out joke from the 80's?
averagebrainfarmer
70’s I believe. Governor Tom McAll started it. Source, am Oregonian old enough to remember.
Dasiana
my opinion only: we're welcoming and love visitors and people moving in, but don't want our state overrun with the type of shit that's
Dasiana
rampant everywhere else. our outdoor areas are well maintained and abundant, we have a lot of sane progressive legislation, and it feels
Dasiana
like we need to protect that, in a sense. again that's just me though
AgainstMethod
I get what you're saying. I've just lived in a few places where outsiders are driving up rent & yet we're nice to our new neighbors.
AgainstMethod
Fwiw the people moving to Oregon are more progressive than the typical non-PDX native and the nativism is much stronger among conservatives.
Dasiana
yeah that's a good point. rural Oregon is red as all hell. I was just kind of thinking out loud about how it feels to me
