I think Portland and Seattle are pretty similar in character--a lot of the same types of subcultures, scenes, weirdness. Seattle I think has a bit more of an edge to it, and there is certainly a lot more money and influence. I love Portland, but it can get a little provincial down here. For how politically aware people perceive themselves as being, you'd think Portland would have a more international outlook. That aside, I love Portland. It's provincialism, great cafes, and bikable streets remind me of my time in Europe. Plus, I can't think of another US city with more good bakeries and cheese shops per capita.
