I love Portland OR, but if you live close in you need to enjoy (or
tolerate) a lot of car exhaust. I can't seem to get used to it.
Minneapolis is also a cool town but cold as shit in winter. Two of
my best girlfriends live there. It's more sprawly but less stinky
than Portland.
Seattle -- got too big in the 80's. Plus they're gonna have huge 8+
occasional earthquakes and the soils aren't stable enough; they
aren't as prepared as they ought to be (maybe more now than two years
ago, lol).
I was raised a country girl, but I enjoy the city. I just wish the
weren't all so damn polluted. blah.
I have a *thing* about involuntary exposures to carcinogenic chemicals...
(college construction today: and a lovely fresh asphalt smell in my
office.... must be making me cranky.)
