Corvallis is a lovely town. High income. Educated. It was one of the highest per-capita income cities in Oregon for a while. May still be. It doesn't have some of the redneck vibe of other small Oregon cities. I could live there. I prefer Eugene, which is 45 minutes south and is sort of a Berkley light.

Weather is mild. Yes. It rains. I just spent 4 days down the road in Sweet Home. A lovely summer climate. Corvallis is just across he coastal range from the coast and coast range has nice hiking.

Come check it out. I recommend November - February to get a taste of the nasty dark days. The rain is nothing. It is the dismal grey clouded days for months on end that drives people bonkers. Seasonal affective disorder is real here.
