Maybe he is thinking of Vancouver WA? That is pretty close to Portland (right across the river).

But the sniper is from Tacoma, if I recall correctly.

Yes, the "D.C." area sniper from a couple of years ago (or so) was from Tacoma. The kid in the sniper team (forget his name) went to school briefly in Bellingham which is north of Seattle; not too far from the Canadian border.
