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

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!

You got married just down the street from me!! My girlfriends and I go there for drinks often! We live in Rock Creek. COOL!!

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.

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!

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!!!!!

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!!

OREGON and IDAHO andWASHINGTON!
I grew up in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Go Lakers! ), and after college (The University of Idaho - go Vandals! ) and a few years in California (Newport Beach ), 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 live in Kirkland, though I grew up in the Federal Way area. DH grew up in Okanogan, a small town in eastern Washington.

We took our first trip to DL last fall, and baby, we're hooked! We're planning our 2nd trip for next fall.

I love all these responses, it is so fun to have friends on the board from our area. I love hearing about other places close by, many of which we have been to. Keep it going.

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.

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