Here is the map of the Portland area, and Tigard is sw of Portland off I5. It is considered to be part of the Portland Metro Area.

Thank you, Grampa Dave. So if I understood the thread correctly, it's pretty close to Tigard? I've been to a couple of the areas you mention, and it's truly God's country. If I thought my husband would go, I'd move out there in a heartbeat.
