Oregon's breathtaking landscapes of waterfalls, coastlines, and greenery are reasons for my fondness of the state, yet they make Portland less appealing for revisits.
While Portland has its charm, I prefer Seattle's vibrancy when considering major cities in the Pacific Northwest.
Phoenix is an urban oasis with cultural offerings, yet I often seek nature and wellness outside the city in places like Scottsdale and Sedona.
Despite experiencing rapid growth, I veer towards the tranquility of nature rather than urban comfort when in Phoenix.
