1. I'm a loyal hometown girl, so have to go for Seattle |
|
But Portland has Powell's and the Pearl District
Vancouver has Granville Island, Grouse Mountain, that great refundable GST and so much more
Tacoma has a pretty cool glass museum
...The best thing is that Seattle is right smack dab in the middle.:D

It still permeates the place, even though the smelter's been closed for years. Weird.

4. Portlanders outnumber ya' so far... |
|
I really like Seattle, Vancouver, Victoria & Tacoma too but have to go for the hometown. I've been to Spokane and Boise but not long enough to get the "flavor".
Eugene is pretty cool but the allergies there in summer are severe. I have to go there tomorrow. Need a self-contained breathing apparatus.
There are a lot of fine Northwest cities.

8. I left because it no longer worked on a personal level, but every so |
|
often I get nostalgic for Portland's transit system and mountain views.

Though it was a tough choice between that and Portland.

12. Gotta vote for Vic because I'm moving there... |
|
...But I really like Portland and Seattle. Anyone in Seattle want to set me up with their sister?
Hey, why isn't Nanaimo BC on the poll? It's kind of a city...

13. Nanaimo's not big enough for these purposes |
|
But I suppose it should be there if only because of Nanaimo Bars....drool....
