Day after day of summer weather so gorgeous compared to other sectors of the nation that it seems heavenly.

Getting 16 hours of daylight during the aforementioned beautiful summer.

Being an hour east of where the mountains meet the sea in dramatic fashion, an hour west of Alpine forests, valleys and peaks, and at the mouth of one of the continent's natural scenic wonders in the Columbia River Gorge.

Being close enough to the ocean that it moderates your winters so that you don't get the consistent, extremely frigid weather seen east of the Cascade Range.

A population that values cultural enrichment on all scales, from the grassroots level up to professional institutions and organizations.
