College town, and still close enough to Portland when you need city fix. Prices are half of Portland.
Do visit in winter to make sure you know what you're in for, but come is summer too. Oh yeah, and get a Subaru....seriously.

I pried my wife away from Portland to live here in Lost Angeles (I own a house here and been at the same job for 17 years).
She hates our 10 month long summers... I love visiting Portland... I even toying with he idea of retiring there... but even my wife fears this SoCal boy would freeze to death in the great PNW.
