Having only lived in the Northwest for a short time, I am not an expert, but I am learning what fun things there are to do here. It's hard not living in Southern California in the 3 hour zone. The 3 hour zone is where you can travel within 3 hours to go surfing, snowboarding, or wakeboarding. During the fall and spring in this coveted area to live in, you can literally wake up to go snowboarding, head to the lake, and go night boarding. It's insane and I miss it terribly.
You can't do that in the Northwest during fall and winter, but you can enjoy the Oregon Coast. I have now been to every city from Astoria to Newport. The Oregon Coast is completely different from the beach and not something you can easily jump into, but it has it's own feel and activities.
One of the places we have enjoyed the most is Depoe Bay and Newport. We stayed in Depoe Bay, which is where we got amazing pictures of the view. The "big" city is Newport and they have many cool funky shops and places for great seafood, including the original Mo's. Each coastal city is similar, but they all have their own distinct vibe. Make sure to check out as many as possible when you next visit the Coast.
