move to Oregon

Hello, People!!
We are thinking about moving to Oregon in the next couple of years or it might be even sooner. As right now, we live in the city of Chicago,IL. As you might read,or seen in the news about how crazy our government has gone too. There are great things in the city and outside of the city but living in the State of IL is being too much. Everywhere we drive or walk or do anything there is fee for this and fee for that. We are tried of it. I had a dream about Oregon, so we are taking a chance and following the dream.

So, could you help??
We have to children, they are still young, well they are not even five yet.
We dont know where to start. We have visited a lot of web sites but nothing really to help us. If you have some pointers, I would like to hear from you.

Thanks.

Hello All,

Once again I’ll be taking the Feet first plunge and will be moving to a land unbeknownst to me and my friends and family, Ithat makes me a trail blazer :). Anyhow, I’ve never been here and know very little about Portland, Oregon I plan on moving there this August or September as a result of a promotion. I would love to road trip it but I’m not sure if it’s feasible, but if it is I’m looking for all the tips and pointers I can get about the possible road trip and of Portland. I apprecate any and every bit of your help. And I’m always looking for new friends. Thanks! }AnGeL{

My husband and I are considering this town when we relocate to Oregon sometime around 2010.

I research things to death so Ive been working on this for awhile.

If we could afford it, I would live in downtown Portland in a nice penthouse and walk everywhere!

The Hubby and I moved here just days ago and we are so happy that we did!

Me and my girlfriend are planning to move to oregon next summer. we have talked about it for 2 or 3 years now. we live in rhode island. we wanted somwhere with a similar climate, 4 seasons, and oregon seemed perfect. last year we took a vacation on the west coast ending in portland. my girlfriend says that crater lake is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. we liked what we saw. if you have ever been in new england then you know what i mean when i say that the people are much more laid back in oregon.
so we sat around bored in RI for another winter and decided that it is finally time to do something about our oregon dream. we opened a savings account, we are looking for new cars that can make the trip, planning the route… but its still going to be a year and a half till we move. till then we’re dreaming of our new life on the west coast.
anyone have any tips about a cross country move to oregon? what to see on the way, or where to find easy work. im an electrician and my girlfriend is a autocad drafter. any tips would be apreciated. thanks
matt

Hello,

I have lived in Caifornia for almost all of my 35yrs …from Woodland, to San jose, to SAcramento, to Emeryville, and Stockton. I went to visit a friend in Salem, Oregon for a week and it was very nice and relaxing. Everyone was so friendly. I even spoke with an Admissions cousleor from WOU, In Monmouth…It was very exciting. I AM moving 1st week of March. What do I need to do inorder to make move much easier and successful..thanks

but first we have to get our finances straight.

I have already done this and i moved back to colorado. That being said, moving back to colorado was the worst thing i have ever done in my life. I plan to move back to oregon, on the coast, this summer. i would reccommend it to anyone and if you want some one on one convincing, just email me. j21raptors@q.com. it is the most beautiful place in the world. I can give you a lot of onfo. good luck
