Why is it so much more complex to rent in Portland/Vancouver area compared to Seattle? Down there your ENTIRE renting history comes under screening. In Seattle it's 5 years or so only. Even then they work with you having credit issues. In fact, searching for properties in Portland you get results for Tacoma!

Why does Vancouver wa ad portland or seem to be so critical with their screening compared to Seattle?

I can't tell you what the motivation for screening is in Seattle. I'm in Oregon and you are not going to rent from me if there is even a hint that you might refuse to pay rent or will damage my house.

Maybe landlords in Seattle can get bums and deadbeats out very quickly and cheaply. Me, I am not letting anyone in that might have to be evicted later. I'd rather have my house sit empty.
