Hey y'all!
I just joined this forum a few minutes ago in order to get some feedback from PNW gun folks.
I'm about to retire and the wife & I are seriously contemplating the big move from central west coast Fla. (Bradenton) to Salem.
Our only child moved to Portland upon graduating from college around 6 yrs ago and the wife is distraught he's so far away.
Just last week we returned from our second trip to Portland, there is no way I could live in Portland for various reasons, although I must admit the food and beer is great.
We drove down to Salem for a look see, the home prices are a bit more reasonable and it wouldn't be too far a drive to visit our son.
Any recommendations as far as other city/towns within 1 or 2 hours drive of Portland???
(Beaverton looked nice but the home prices are just out of reach for us).
Once we decide on a location and actually move there, I'll be asking for shooting range recommendations.
Thanks in advance, Jon.

Check out Aurora. its inbetween Salem and Portland. Much nicer area
Wife & I just bought a house in McMinnville, we'll be arriving late July
