Landlocked?

Please look at a map.

The people haven't changed a whole lot. I will give that to them. They are some of the nicest people in the world. But I've changed my mind and am going to move again to some place, if I can find it, that reminds me of the old Portland.
You probably helped process me through MEPS in 1985. Good times.

I have lived in Seattle for about 24 years and I don't notice the changes. Maybe because they are gradual and I see them happening. Every now and again I go home to Washougal and I can't believe the changes. I'm not there to see them happen so it's always pretty dramatic when I see them.

Good luck in your search for a new home!

I just knew I had to give you something disputable if I was going to get Portlanders to not dispute that LA is more dense than Portland.

Gosh, aren't you just the clever one.

But ... is dense supposed to be good?
