Moving to the PNW next week after over 40 years in this god damned state. Lotta cool people here whom I've known over the years, but I'm not participating in my own oppression any more.
First weekend there I am gonna check out the view of Portland from the Pittock Mansion, go to Tillamook to eat some fucking cheese and ice cream, head up to Cannon Beach to stare out to infinity, drive to Astoria to check out The Goonies filming locations, and then spend Sunday in Seattle doing I dunno what yet but it'll definitely involve coffee and hipsterism. Very excite!
Sounds like a good plan! If you can fit it in, I would recommend crossing over to Washington from Astoria and checking out the Cape Disappointment area while you're there. Absolutely gorgeous.
Welcome to the PNW. We have a lot of transplants, and more come every year. It's getting pretty crowded, but it sure is beautiful. I hope you like the rain, and won't miss all that sunshine.
