It's an up and coming state. Not as hot as California and not as dreary, isolated and wet as Washington.

Mild climate.

The climate here is not mild, it's erratic and bipolar. Any native can tell you that. It goes from 90 degrees and clear skies to thunderstorm all in the same day and we get all weathers. Not a mild climate, definitely not extreme per se, but not mild either. And actually it rains nearly as much in Portland as it does in Seattle.

 

We also have a higher than national average unemployment rate. The only reason I would call Oregon up and coming is because we've been the number one moving destination nationally for the past three years.
