I was born and raised in Eugene. Graduated from U of O in 1971. Moved to Southern California in ‘74 and have been trying to get back to Eugene ever since. Now at 75 I finally made it back home. So happy!🙂

The PNW is freaking gorgeous, I just moved back to Seattle. While it’s not perfect, the natural beauty is a huge plus for me.

[Yormsane]

My favorite thing about Oregon is those small coastal towns. From Astoria down to Brookings, all connected by Hwy 101, which is one of the most spectacular drives in our nation.

[Kaysann]

Born & Raised Oregonian 🌲 from Hoodriver ✌🏾. I lived in NC & GA in the past I hated it, no place is like good ole Oregon 💚💚

[emcsquared]

I lived in Portland for many years back in the 90s and it was one of the cleanest, and most gorgeous cities you could live in.

[Cypress]

I lived in Corvallis for 15 years before moving to the Bend area. It’s like moving to another state completely, and it isn’t just the landscape. I think you could almost do an entire video on Bend/Central O vs western Oregon. You keep pointing out how expensive Portland has become, but never mention that that *average* home price in Bend has almost eclipsed $800k with outlying residences deep into the millions. I’m currently working on a $21 million house on the outskirts of town that is going up in an entire neighborhood of $10 mil+ houses. The Californians are here, and they are flexing HARD. The service industry is dying because the workers can’t afford to live within 20 miles of Bend, etc.

Here is a quote from the former governor, Tom McCall of Oregon & it nicely says it all
"I urge them to come and come many, many times to enjoy the beauty of Oregon, " McCall said. "But I also ask them, for heaven's sake, don't move here to live."
This quote was from 1971. McCall saw the plague of moneyed Locus living in Cali & 52 years later we still don't want them to move here.

Oregon is a beautiful US state. I had a chance to make a long road trip there during one of my business trips (the work was done and the flight back to Europe was planned in a week.. Perfect opportunity for a trip 😁).

There's everything there - mountains, deserts, lakes, sea, just beautiful.

I will definitely come back one day with my family. Greetings from Slovakia!

One of the nicest days I've ever spent was on a beach near Newport, Oregon. About 78° and only saw one other person walking by the entire afternoon

[angierae]

Native Oregonian here - I would like to point out that most people are born and raised in a small town not that they all move to a small town. Then people that are born and raised in small towns usually stay or go back because they have family there, connections, roots, property, etc..

[hdoc]

The Blue Mountains in Eastern Oregon are beautiful, there’s lots of hiking and recreation, it’s southeast that’s desert like. The people in Eastern Oregon are pretty great people.

[MedallionYT]

This is the first youtuber that I have seen that has done a good job describing Oregon. Well done! Most people over-emphasize the beauty and ignore the downsides. As someone that has lived in Oregon for more than a decade, if you are considering moving to Oregon, this is the video for you!

[IlakuSoKingg]

Oregon is so beautiful and different it would be a dream to live there.

My husband has an grandma from his mom side. She moved to Oregon a few years ago. She said it more peaceful and a lot of nature. In the area she lives. I grew up in Lodi CA. Most of my life. I did live in acampo, Lockeford, and Stockton. For a short while. Though now that I have 2 kids. My hometown doesn’t feel like my home town anymore. It’s small and everyone knows everyone. Yes my whole family lives here. But for awhile it’s not been the same. I find myself looking at videos like this and think what would it would be like to live there. I have a friend that moved to Placerville recently and took me to her new home. Surrounded by mountains and trees I actually felt peace and free. It’s was a 2 hour drive from my hometown. I was there with my husband and kids too. Thanks to my friend I was able to experience something I didn’t know I needed. I feel that feeling it’s hard to explain

[pamelamays]

I remember a time, maybe thirty years ago when folks from Oregon were getting tired of Californians moving up there. They were like, "Don't come here. We don't want you."

[TwinSister]

Hello from the Oregon Coast 😎I retired here in Florence, a small rural town 4 years ago.
Peaceful community where people respect one another and the environment. I walk the amazing beaches daily. Florence is the Coastal Playground ! Grateful to live the final chapter of my life in a beautiful place and have peace of mind.
FYI: What happens in Portland stays in Portland ! We do not associate with that chaos.
Portland is three hours/2oo hundred miles away from Florence. Thank goodness !

I use to love going to Portland in the early 2000s. I wish it hadn't gotten so bad.

[jWRe-tg]

i live in alabama. in 2015, i worked on the railroad from bend, to portland, and then on to spokane washington. it was the most breathtaking landscapes i've ever seen. i loved how so many people were into nature.

[oshtoolman]

Born and raised in California. So the first vacation house I bought was in Roseburg Oregon!! After 10 years, had to sell it due to health issues, but even now, 12 years later, I still miss that town. Every chance I get, I still go up there just to see what's happening in town.

I’ve lived in OR since 2002, did not grow up here but moved here for a guy and loved it. Just a little tired of the 7-8 months of rain but it makes us appreciate the sunny days more. I agree with you, I especially love that it takes 20 minutes to get to a hike it. You literally can drive 1 hr to Mt hood for a ski and 2 ish hrs west to the beach. The coast is calm and not over crowded although it gets pretty windy in most coastal towns. I love all the lushy greens and fresh air that since moving up her from CA I can say I dont get those seasonal allergies as often anymore. If I ever move out of OR it would have to be a state similar to OR.
