Thanks Dani! I'm wondering if I should stop asking for opinions because I keep getting so many conflicting ones! Someone else told me that coming over the bridge was just insane and that you should never live in Vancouver and work in Portland! lol That's helpful to know that there are other areas further from the city that we can look at. We've been looking at homes in Beaverton area, I have a friend there who recommends it.
Mostly right now, we're trying to see if it makes any sense for us to relocate there. The jobs look very promising for his field. He's a technical guy in a very non-technical town and we're just exploring options outside of here, wondering if here is a dead-end for him careerwise. Portland seems to be a good fit for his career, but it will depend on what kind of response he gets as he applies, I suppose.
The rain thing kind of has us both torn. I really don't know how it would affect me. I love light and I have a hard time when it's super dark and gray (we get pretty intense storms here in the south) but is it really GRAY all the time, all day long for most of the days in those seasons?
