Thread for people from the same area? Oregonians? (and Washingtionians of course)

[abby]

So I notice in these boards are folks who are practically neighbors (maybe even real neighbors) So how about getting to know fellow dis'er in your area?

We are in Happy Valley, just outside Portland. Me and dd (almost 7)...Anyone else in our area????????:rotfl: :rotfl:

[my*gracie*girl]

We're in Forest Grove....west of Portland.

[RuthieT]

We live in Boring and have a 3 year old.

[OregonDisneyFanatic]

We are in Eugene.

[gnbuggy]

We are in Eugene.

Same here, Kristi is my SIL.:goodvibes

[rosiep]

Ex-NYer loving Portland!!!

[bumbershoot]

I'm a parenthetical Washingtonian. :) Across the street (literally, the street is the "border") from Tacoma.

Ah, Forest Grove...how I do adore our stays at Grand Lodge...twas our wedding night hotel, we love it so much, after we married at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro. Had our almost 3 month old along on our 1st anniversary trip to Portland (to pick up wedding album)...:rolleyes1

Ah, Eugene...we have old friends there, old hippie friends. OK they were my mom's friends from SF, then they moved there (I hear you now, "no, people from San Francisco moved up to Eugene? that never happens!" :rotfl: ) for a much better lifestyle, and now I'm mega-jealous b/c DH gets scared and has hesitated to move down there... Went to the BEST backyard wedding there two Decembers ago...sigh.

Ah Portland, love it too!

And Boring, well, I don't know anything about Boring. I'm sure I'd love it, too.

[kingsdaughter]

I am up here in Marysville (about 35 miles north of Seattle)

Did you all know that further North at the Burlington Outlet Mall they are selling is the traveling Disney Outlet store.Tey will be their until May 15th. I have been up there twice I cannot believe what they have there all brand new DL park items. I bought an awesome DL windbreaker jacket that sells at the parks for $68.00 it was only $24.00, sweatshirts for $14.00. Check it out if you can.:thumbsup2

[bouncy54]

As you can see from my signature..I'm in Auburn, between Seattle and Tacoma.

I was born in Longview, WA, but I used to live in Vancouver. (DH and I got married there nearly 35 years ago) DH was born here in Auburn.

When I was a teen, I lived in Eugene...and yes, I knew quite a few real hippies...one of my boyfriend's parents were professors at the college and I remember him taking me to a campus party where they had all the phsycadelic stuff going around on the walls as the music played.

I never really got into that kind of lifestyle though. I was more into the whole Herman's Hermits and Paul Revere & the Raiders kind of music scene...not the "one pill makes you smaller, and one pill makes you tall" stuff. :rotfl:

I grew up in a household where we all gathered around the tv on Sunday nights to watch Ed Sullivan, Bonanza and of course, The Wonderful World of Disney. Going to the drive-in with my folks to see Disney movies like the Parent Trap, Absent Minded Professor, and Swiss Family Robinson are some of my favorite childhood memories. popcorn::

[hlbtimes2]

Born and raised in WA state.

Currently live in Federal Way. So, I'm bouncy54's neighbor ( I work in Auburn). And maybe Bumbershoots neighbor depending on which street divides her from Tacoma. LOL

[Kat in WA]

Our family is from Eastern Washington (the Yakima Valley - wine country). We are currently planning our seventh annual trip to Disneyland. :woohoo: We drive to Southern California every year after our daughters (and I) get done with the school year. :teacher: If you have any questions about driving from our area to DLand, just holler!:wave2:

[godalejunior]

Born and live in Longview WA with DH and DS (5). Second family trip to DL this year in 2 weeks. We are going with my dad and his wife. Should be fun.

[bethy]

I was not born but raised in Wenatchee which is in Eastern Washinton. I've lived in the Seattle area for the past 15 years. We reside in Issaquah right now and plan to be here a very long time.

[victorandbellasmom]

Went to college in WA and decided to stay. We currently live Kirkland, WA (about 10 miles east of Seattle) and have been here for 5 years. Prior to that, we lived in Tukwila and First Hill area of downtown Seattle. Dh was born in UT but raised in Federal Way, WA. We love the Northwest and can't see living elsewhere. Wait. I take that back we can see ourselves living in disneyland.

My two brother in laws (or is it brothers in law) and their families live in Clackamas, just off of Sunnyside Rd. DH and I used to live out there, too. Now we're one block from Hillsboro, but the address says Portland.

[road2disney]

I'm in Lynnwood [north of Seattle] and I'm leaving for DLR in a couple of weeks!!! :cool1:

When I say "I," I really mean to include my DH, DD, and DS! Can't forget them!

[SunBunny23]

Seattle here.

[AJA55]

As the name states… Vancouver, WA here. It’s great to see all the NW people. When I go on the WDW boards there’s never anyone from this side of the county.

I work in Portland, OR. Disney 1999 you have a longer commute that I do. I’m only 12 mile from work and it can take an hour to get home…..

Kingsdaughter… too bad my work isn’t sending me up your way (sometime they do) I’d be right on the store!

[bumbershoot]

Yay! I loved CPR for our wedding. Got some junky service last time we were there, and couldn't help but feel like "our" place was going downhill, and that we deserved special attention b/c we had paid them thousands of dollars. :rotfl:

When we were first checking out McMenamins for the wedding, we of course figured we'd do Edgefield. But got a bad coordinator, then had to call things off and start over, so instead of a red, Asian-themed wedding (hubby is Korean) wedding in late Sept at Edgefield, we got a pink and light green, mid-August of the next year, wedding at CPR! When we very first looked at CPR is was early spring BEFORE they had done anything to their property...looking at muddy earth as the events person said "and over there, we WILL HAVE" xyz...just coudln't risk it. As it turned out, by August of '03 it was SO incredible!

We think of moving down there, pretty much every time I call in my payment on my VW lease, b/c their offices in Hillsboro is where I end up calling! :upsidedow

[zukeeper]

We live in Auburn up on the hill by Pacific Raceways for you car race fans (I've never even been!). I am so totally working on an excuse to go to the Burlington Outlet this weekend! Thanks for the tip!! Hubby loves the big Indian Casinos so maybe I can shop and he can play. I've got to gear up for our trip in - count it down - 9 days!!!!! :cheer2:

I agree on the service problems. The last time I was there, the waitress got cork in the wine bottle, then didn't even offer to uncork a new one. She just poured the wine anyway! I can't believe we actually had to say something. At what they charge there, they should have better service! The grounds around the home are unbelievably beautiful in the summer. I bet your wedding was gorgeous!!

[NannyPooh]

OREGON and IDAHO andWASHINGTON!
I grew up in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Go Lakers! :cheer2: ), and after college (The University of Idaho - go Vandals! :cheer2: ) and a few years in California (Newport Beach:cool2: ), ended up in Snohomish, WA (actually the address is Everett, but I like Snohomish better!).
Can't beat the area - it is so pretty up here in the NW! Rain doesn't bother me, because I always have a trip to DL or WDW in the works to get me through the dreary days!
bouncy54...you said that you liked Paul Revere - a friend of mine from college married either his daughter or one of *The Raiders* daughters! They have played at the Epcot Flower and Garden show (or maybe it was the F & W festival), and I always mean to track them down to see if my friend is still married!
Fun to see so many people from our area - no one from the NW on the WDW boards!
Will anyone be at DL the last week of August this year?

We returned from a 5 day DL trip on the 15th and I've been dreaming about going back, reading the boards, looking at expedia... can't seem to focus on anything else!!

Oh - now to follow the thread.... living in Lacey, WA - born in Seattle... military wife - lived in Beaverton for 3 yrs too! Loved it!!

[bumbershoot]

The grounds around the home are unbelievably beautiful in the summer. I bet your wedding was gorgeous!!

It was lovely, but that weekend in '03 was sickeningly hot. Everyone while we were booking said "oh that's going to be a beautiful time, 80 degrees, best time to have an outdoor wedding". And it was 100 that day. With me in a poofy silk satin dress. AUGH. I didn't wear nylons, not even the snazzy stockings (with real garter belt) I'd bought for the occasion.

Though I had the gown fitted to my shape wearing a tight corset, by the evening I had sweated off so much weight, it was loose even without the corset. :eek:

But it was gorgeous!



Cork in the wine bottle! Yuck!

Hello Pacific Northwesterners!

Another Dis'er from Longview here! I am a Lumberjill through and through but DH and sons are Monarchs.

Since we can't afford to live in SoCal, I wish we lived in the Tri-Cities area as we love the weather over there.

[Mom2my2daughters]

Jumping on board again as we're planning our next Disney trip the 2nd week of Sept.!!! Anyone else going in Sept?

I live in Normandy Park, which is inbetween Des. Moines and Burien along the waterfront. Also very close to SeaTac Airport! Born and raised here.

I'm a SAHM to 2 daughters, ages 8 and 5. This will be our 5th trip to Disney since our youngest was born. We LOVE it there! We've always stayed at the Disneyland Hotel but this year we're going to try out the Grand CA. Also, we're going to adventure out and do other CA. things like Universal, the beach, etc.

Aside from being a SAHM I'm a doula :cloud9:

[Stinasmom]

Ah, Forest Grove...how I do adore our stays at Grand Lodge...twas our wedding night hotel, we love it so much, after we married at Cornelius Pass Roadhouse in Hillsboro. Had our almost 3 month old along on our 1st anniversary trip to Portland (to pick up wedding album)...:rolleyes1

We have a "little souvenir" from the Grand Lodge after staying there for our 11th anniversary!:rolleyes1 He is 6 yrs old now.

We're from SW Portland/Beaverton (GO Sunset Apollos!:cheer2: ), I went to UofW (Seattle), then we lived in Salem, Tualatin, Portland and now are in Ellensburg. Guess we count as Pacific Northwesterners!
Too bad we're so far from WDW and the Disney Magic! (not that it stops us from going... it's just farther to go!)
We'll be at DL over Memorial Day!

[limace]

Hi, all! We're in Eugene-DH grew up here, and recently moved back after we got married-he had been living in Florence. I grew up in Montana but have lived here since I went to college here. My mom grew up in Keizer, and folks now live south of Newport. And then I work in Corvallis and DH in Cottage Grove. We put a lot of miles on our cars :( I told DH no way we'd drive to DL.

You will love it there...Last time I went I took my cousin & she giggled & said you're back again LOL.

Yes they have pins, adorable kids clothes, sweatshirts, jackets, purses, DL Tote...etc I will be in DL next month with my cousin & friend no DH or kids (3) 15, 13 & 7 this time.

I am excited & feel a little bad too :) just a little I could use this break big time. I already purchased all their DL gifts from the outlet & put them away. :banana:

Have fun Sunday :thumbsup2

[godalejunior]

Wow! I can't believe there are so many "neighbors" up here!! :goodvibes I'm relatively new to DIS, I joined after deciding to do some "research" on our summer trip to DL (which will be my first since HS graduation - some, er, um 15+ yrs ago) :eek: DH hasn't been since Jr High, so that's almost 20 yrs ago! Double :scared1:

We live in Maple Valley, WA with 2 DDs (7 & 22 months). We used to live in Orting, WA & before that in San Diego, CA.

Yeah, it get's a little hotter in what we call the "bowl of Hillsboro". Last year it was 108 for three days straight. Blah!!! LOL about the dress! I got married in August and it was hot,hot, hot that day, too! Before the ceremony I had little fans under my dress to cool me off!!! :)

Hi, fellow Eugeneans!

Also, had to laugh about the above quote. I love the McMenamin's properties, and have stayed at Edgefield and the Kennedy School several times. Not so in love with their food (except the Black Rabbit at Edgefield). And man, their service is almost consistently bad. A friend of mine here in Eugene jokes that McMenamins employs one band of roving waiters, that go from restaurant to restaurant in a pack. You'll sit at one of their restaurants FOREVER with horrible service, and then all the sudden someone will ask you eight times if you need more water.

I live in Arlington, WA, the town next to where Kingsdaughter and DisneyPhreak are from. Actually, Kingsdaughter and I are friends....our kids used to go to school together!

You were so excited to hear about it.....Isn't it just great?! I figured you would probably go the very next day....LOL. I had to stop going as I was spending all my money saved for our trip to DL! Only 12 more days to go ....yipee!::cheer2: Oh, and thanks for referring me to this board! It's great!...and it's so nice to meet lots of other "Disney-ites" from this area!::goodvibes

Hi, I was just reading the thread and had to register. I am from West Linn, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. We (DH, DD (10) are heading to DL from
May 7-12th, we can't wait! We stocked up on supplies earlier in the year when the Character Warehouse had a local store opened in Jantzen Beach Center. It was sooo much fun to get such great deals!

Hello to all of the PNW neighbors - I just can't wait for sun!:)

[DisneyPhreak]

Looks like me and Kingsdaughter are neighbors. I live in Marysville too.

Hi neighbor :banana: DisneyPhreak...... please to meet you.

Pretty funny...I live up on the hill right above Sunnyside (or maybe its still considered Sunnyside). So we are very close, small world.. I'll make sure I keep an eye out.

It's a beautiful morning up here, north of Seattle :cool2: !
Kingsdaughter - thanks for the info about the Disney outlet! We usually get them down in Totem Lake, so I hadn't heard about this one!
Think that I will head up to Burlington this morning and check it out!

You're welcome I can't take all the credit :rolleyes1 disneyfan4ever54 was the one who told me about it.
I plan on heading up their this morning myself.I'll probably be their around 10:30 ish maybe I'll see you there. Say hi if you see me =)

[disneyfan4ever54]

So....GP, ANOTHER trip to the outlet store?... What did you get me?....LOL
And yes, you can take all the credit for letting people know about it. You were thoughtful to post it here!:) I hope you get some great stuff again today!
NannyPooh, I don't think the outlet store will go back to Totem Lake again. The manager said they did really poorly there and will never go back. I know I went there one night and he said they were closing early due to lack of customers. I think because of where it is located, they didn't get a lot of people like they do in Burlington. When they were there last Fall (right before Totem Lake), he said they wouldn't be back until next Fall. But they must've done pretty well, because they decided to come back now!:yay:

[zukeeper]

I loaded up at the outlet store! Got a Tinkerbell Jacket for $28 reg $78.:yay: I spent a little over $200 and they said at $200 you qualify for 10% off future purchases and gave me the discount for my current purchase. At $250 you qualify for 15% off. You can use it at the CA outlet store also. I also picked up $5 t-shirts at the Disney Store at Alderwood Mall. Found something for everyone, but it was a little picked over. Happy Shopping!

[NannyPooh]

Wow -
What a morning at the Disney outlet!
Kingsdaughter - I was there from about 10:30 to 11:30! I had a blast and loaded up on all sorts of things!
Hitch-hiking ghosts, Pirates posters plus a pirate ship, and a couple of sweatshirts! They had lots of pins available also! My boys are all about Stitch, Pirates and the Haunted Mansion, so it was a bonanza!
Thanks again for the tip!
Disneyfan4ever54 - The Totem Lake store was always empty! The lady at Burlington today was really nice - it is just as easy for me to go up north, as to battle the 405 south to Kirkland! I actually thought that they had a better selection today than in years before! She did say that if they are open past May13, they will have a whole new shipment of stuff coming in! Just might qualify for a second trip back! :banana:

Nannypooh were you the lady who had all those bags :rotfl: needed a 2nd trip to the car I think. I remember hearing the lady that worked there talking about they will have more things if the are opened past the 13th. I was in there wearing one of my DL t-shirts. I was tempted to go up to the lady the woman was talking to & asked are you Nannypooh :rotfl: but I thought I better not if it isn't she might think I am a nut lol.I was there from about 10:45 - 11:45. That is so funny.I am glad you found a lot of Disney treasures.
Enjoy :banana:

Kingsdaughter -
That was probably me! I had a green shirt on, and I had that big pirate ship with me, and did have to make two trips to the car! The *worker* gal is taking her family to WDW, and the gal behind me (long hair, orange-ish shirt) had been to all Disneys (except one), so we were all talking about the differences, etc. It was fun! I didn't see your email about you going up there until AFTER I got home, or I would have run around asking everyone if they were you!
We have friends visiting from Mexico in May, and I wanted to get something fun for their 10 year old daughter - I thought the outlet would be the perfect place to do that! Got home, and realized that I had totally forgotten about her...so I just MIGHT need to go back :woohoo:

Hmm I dont see where it says there is a store in Salem, just in Bend. Do they move around all the time of just a limited time thing?

They were in Lincoln City last summer. We didnt find much. I was sad, hoping to find great deals like I have in Fullerton. Im thinking that I might have to go to Bend soon.:rolleyes: Gosh, if it was in Salem, Id be there in a heart beat.

Greetings from Coeur d'Alene Idaho! :wave2:

I saw a couple of other Vandals on this thread so I thought I'd chime in. My DS 7 and I are the big Disney fans. DH is a good sport and goes with us . . .

Grew up in Anaheim and was a DL cast member more than 25 years ago -- hoping to go back for my retirement job!

It's nice to see so many NW folks on these boards.

Hi lisah0711!
My dad grew up in Cd'A, and they moved back there when I was at UIdaho! We lived down on E. Lakeshore on Sanders Beach - parents sold their house about 10 years ago, and it is one of those ones that has been rebuilt - NOT the same house that my gram built, and was in our family for a milliion years!
My mom lives in Hayden now. I lived in Cd'A after college, and worked at the old Henry's restaurant!
When were you at Idaho? DH and I were there from 1980-85! :cheer2:

[Alex2kMommy]

So....GP, ANOTHER trip to the outlet store?... What did you get me?....LOL
And yes, you can take all the credit for letting people know about it. You were thoughtful to post it here!:) I hope you get some great stuff again today!
NannyPooh, I don't think the outlet store will go back to Totem Lake again. The manager said they did really poorly there and will never go back. I know I went there one night and he said they were closing early due to lack of customers. I think because of where it is located, they didn't get a lot of people like they do in Burlington. When they were there last Fall (right before Totem Lake), he said they wouldn't be back until next Fall. But they must've done pretty well, because they decided to come back now!:yay:
The Totem Lake Mall is going to be redeveloped anyway, they're waiting for the last few leases to expire. I'm eager to hear who the new tenants will be!

[RuthieT]

I know if it was in Salem I would be heading there today for sure... But I really dont have a reason to go to Bend this month. Next month I will be making two trips in just two weeks for a friends wedding.

I wondered what they were going to do with the mall because it was so empty. Yes, it will be intersting to see what tenants go in there. I live in Arlington and don't get that way very often, so please keep us posted.:)

Salem here!
My heart almost jumped out of my chest when you mentioned a Disney Outlet here - but Bend. Phooey. We couldn't even keep our Disney Store here - I can't imagine the outlet would ever come through!
Nice to see so many Northwesterners here. When we were in DL for Spring Break 2006 we were all so easy to spot, in Orange or Green sweatshirts, shorts, and sandals in the pouring rain!!
We're driving down next month June 17 - 21. I can't wait!!!:banana:

[JiminyCrkt]

Another Oregonian here - Newberg. I also remember the Disney Outlet in Lincoln City quite a while ago, Bend is way too far for me:sad1:.

Hi NannyPooh! As you know, Coeur d'Alene is a great place to live although there have been many changes over the years. The nice thing about being bigger now is that we don't have to go to Spokane to get things anymore like we used to!

I was at Idaho for law school from 89 through 91. I'm hoping my DS 7 will go there some day.

My husband and I have a Mom and Pop law firm in Hayden -- real estate law. Your Mom probably told you that Henry's was turned into a real estate office.

Sounds like you had quite a haul at the Disney Outlet! It's nice to know that there are some many DISers in the NW!

[PeterPansPixie]

MMHS alumni here also and so is my DH. Nice to "see" some people from Longview on here!

Hey, we are going 9/20-9/23 as well (just DH and I)...........12 days until the next trip!

It's always good to see other Monarchs on here!

DH and I are going on our first "alone" trip in November. :cheer2:
