Is it as bad as Coos Bay? We went up there around 1970 from Southern California to visit some former neighbors and I’ve never seen that many dirty, filthy hippies in my life and never hope to again.
Some of the smaller towns along the Pacific coast aren't too bad (touristy mostly) and as you move eastward beyond I-5 OR is rural and decent; but along I-5 are the major cities which contain the kooks and dominate OR politics (especially Portland and environs).
Are you aware of Portland's informal and popular slogan? It's "Keep Portland Weird". And they mean it.
