Thank you. I've enjoyed your numerous posts in the year or so I've been reading this board.

Oh, you're a programmer - that's what I do. So I lied, Portland really sucks. It's riddled with crime, you need electrified lifelines to keep the bums off your boat, you have to pay someone to watch your car 24/7, the marinas are full of sex offenders because they can't live anywhere else and you better have stout shoes to kick aside all the hyperdermic needles... <g>
All kidding aside, we're partial to Portland. My experience/interests fall in a fairly specialized niche (integrated GIS apps). I had no problems getting a job and regularaly see jobs advertised that would interest me. I find
www.jobsinme.com is best for tech positions. It is perfectly plausible to get just about any type of job within walking distance of a marina. The best part is a lot of downtown firms have trouble recruiting because of parking. They're real happy when you tell them you don't need a garage space.
If you make it up here let me know. Feel free to PM for more info if you don't want to bore the rest of forum.
