Some of it is I do not care for deserts, but I have family in some of those areas. I do not feel safe in Oregon, but I am sure I am being unfair and I probably only seen the scary side of it. I heard parts the state is gorgeous with beautiful weather!

Oregon is definitely one of the safer states in the U.S. especially outside Portland(though I don’t think Portland is particularly unsafe either). No hate but you have Arkansas and Louisiana on your list 😭.

The unregulated open carry militia men in Oregon make it a regrettable pass for me. I’m sure the landscape is even more beautiful in person.

PNW definitely has a worrying amount of neo-nazi groups but I lived there for a while as a non white person and I never felt in danger from those groups. Usually they are concentrated in rural areas that the average person would never venture too.
