i feel this way about seattle, and i probably would feel the same way about portland if i were ever to visit. i may be living in cincinnati, but like you, my heart is in the pacific northwest. there's something so alluring about that part of the country that just calls to me (for as cheesy as it sounds) and i really can't explain it.

so...ready to move? i'm going to take another shot in the summer of next year. i was gung-ho about seattle, but i might be convinced into portland. let's talk. :)
