- xfour 8y agoPortland is definitely somewhere I’ve been thinking. Schools seem to be an issue in a lot of neighborhoods except Lake Oswego. Anywhere closer to the city know for good schools? Also what’s your favorite companies of those 4K openings I should look into?
- mech4bg 8y agoForest Heights has good schools, is affordable (by Bay Area standards at least) and is a short drive to downtown, 10-25 minutes depending on where and what time of day.
- adventured 8y agoA couple of years ago I seriously looked at the Camas / Vancouver area, just across the line from Portland. No income tax in Washington of course (if you work in Portland that obviously changes the equation, as opposed to remoting). Use Portland for the nearby metro benefits, and housing prices in the region are drastically better than Seattle. I can't speak to the schools in the area however.
- claudiulodro 8y agoUnless you're at the giant Beaverton-based corporations (Intel, Nike, etc.), salaries seem to be about a third also.
