Freeport probably, since it isn't too far to Portland. Pendleton looks to be too isolated, of a town.
I guess I'll continue the trend of talking about out of the way places, for this. Sturgeon Bay, WI, or Petoskey, MI?
Both are in absolutely beautiful locations but I'm partial to Petoskey here. Emmet County MI is a bit more "upscale" than Door County and has a few more amenities for year round living.

Lexington KY, or Bentonville AR?
Lexington due to location and things to do. I like the arts culture and fine dining options. Lexington is also close to Louisville and Cincinnati.
Wouldn't want to live in either truthfully but I guess Chicago. Las Vegas or New Orleans'?
This is a tough one. I like New Orleans more, as it feels more unique & has less sprawl, but it's also flood prone. I also prefer New Orleans's activity outside of its main area compared to Vegas. Neither Louisiana or Nevada are my favorite, and I prefer other metros. I'll choose Las Vegas to live since it's not flood prone, and its proximity to Southern California.
Nashville, because it's in a beautiful geographic area. I like St. Louis, though. Great roads!
Seattle, WA or Minneapolis/St.Paul, MN?
I guess the Twin Cities. I left Seattle less than a year ago and don't feel a strong desire to move back there --- not that I disliked it, just kinda feel done with it for a while.
If I were to stay in the Twin Cities for multiple years, I'd be a bit concerned about my social life. Seems like people get married and settle down on the early side there, for a large blue-state city, because they can afford to. It's a rare drawback of having a low cost of living. But for a few months or a year, meh, there's a lot to enjoy there. I've long wanted to spend some time exploring the Northwoods and rowing out by myself on those serene lakes.

Hartford, CT or Coeur d'Alene, ID?
Hartford... CdA seems like a nice place to vacation but I would prefer urbanity, diversity, and better access to jobs/amenities in a full-time living location. Hartford has its issues but it's a big enough place to have livable areas worth looking into.
St Cloud, MN or Janesville, WI?
