The significant other likes cross-country skiing. The kids are into camping, soccer and skiing. We're not into nightlife at all. I like to cook, the wife is an organic foodie. Photography, bookstores, and pottery round out the pastimes. I don't have much tolerance for long commutes in bad traffic (I usually take mass transit to work).
Porsche parade in Portland (say THAT three time fast) next year.

Lots of great outdoor activities... when it's not raining or if you don't mind it raining.

Organic foodie heaven... bookstore heaven...

They do have some mass transit, make sure your housing is close to it, and hopefully your work also (my hotel on a recent work trip had a trolley stop out front, nice).

Note: I haven't lived in Portland but have a friend who does and I have visited a few times.
