Thanky for the advise.
Had a look at rental prices in Portland and was shocked! What I would pay for a 1 br. apt. in Seattle, I could get a 2-3 br. apt. in Portland.
As I have been given a very low CN, the whole thing might go faster than anticipated, which req. me to act a lot faster than planned.
Fine for me, the faster I get out of where I am right now, the better!!
