That's interesting, because I have been looking at moving to Oregon: so far, I have looked at Coos Bay, Toledo, and more recently, Woodburn (between Salem and Portland).
Coos Bay is more diverse than most parts of Portland, more diverse than Salem, and maybe just a bit less diverse than Woodburn. I keep coming back to look at Coos Bay (even though there don't seem to be enough jobs for me) just because I love the older houses, the many types of water, and the fact that it is NOT a huge set of freeways.
