Turn your California clock back a few years, and you pretty much have Oregon & Washington, politically and economically...Portland currently has 2 candidates for Mayor, since the incumbent has announced she'll not be running again. The campaign seems to be each candidate trying to outliberal the other. So, plan on taxes and regulation going up. Avoid Multnomah county..it has an additional income tax over and above the punative 9% State income tax. As much as Eugene pretends to be a city, the Portland area is Oregon's only city of real size. I avoid going to either area as much as possible...but hey, I'm a country boy conservative. You may be a liberal government worker.
The job picture in Oregon seems to be improving, but not as well as in Washington. This because of Oregon's unfriendly biz climate. If I'm not mistaken, Oregon is still among the top 5 in UNemployment rankings. On the plus side, your $300K equity could buy a nice home in parts of Oregon. Oh, and it does rain a lot up here...that part is true.
A legal brush burning day here...and I have a LOT of trimmings to burn...bring your hot dogs & buns!
outahere!
