Wha-wha-wha-whatabout Oregon? You literally left out the middle man!
Between CA, OR, and WA.......Washington is okay away from the larger cities. There's something about Seattle that feels so cramped. Traffic is horrible during peak hours and holidays. I used to live in Kitsap county for a while AWAY from the large cities. I was born in a city, but I'm not really a city person.
