Tiggywinkle63 is on a distinguished road
I am a fifth generation Oregonian and proud of it! And I was born in Pendleton (grew up in Bend). My great-great-grandmother was one of the first white children born in LaGrande, and I think her no less of an Oregonian than the great-great-grandmother born in Linn County. Eastern Oregon is different, yes, but it is still Oregon.

If you think it is a wasteland, you haven't seen much of it, or haven't paid attention! Some of the most beautiful places on earth are in Eastern Oregon. If you think the desert is unattractive, check out the Painted Hills sometime. And there are mountains and lakes and forests a-plenty--check out the area around Baker, or the Wallowas. The rolling wheat fields of Umatilla County never fail to take my breath away. And the rugged southeast corner of the state may not be for the faint of heart, but those who venture there are well rewarded.

I think the western part of the state is more of a wasteland. I have driven that I-5 corridor more times than I care to remember, from Portland to Ashland, and all that concrete and all those cities are just mind numbing. The southern part is not quite so bad, but still just can't compete with the east for sheer natural beauty.

But if you don't like it, by all means keep to the west part of the state! We don't want the east getting all crowded anyway.
