Well, as a resident, I can tell you that unemployment is quite high here, and any company that wants to come in, bring decent, living wage jobs to the area is *VERY* welcome. I'm looking forward to it myself, will definitely be putting in my resume.

| I actually think the Dalles is an ideal place to live. Unfortunately I won't be moving there. The Dalles is close to hood river Oregon which is a nice sports destination. Hood River is a small town similar to a ski town. They have some of the best windsurfing in north America. Because they are a sports destination there are lots of cool restaurants and shops. They are also close to mount hood which has great skiing late into the season. They also have great hiking and white water rafting, mountain biking, water skiing, and fishing. They are also about 30-45 minutes from Portland for shopping and big city stuff. The Dalles is inland enough to be sunny when the coast is getting rained on. This is one of the reasons the windsurfing is good. The cold and wet fronts get stalled against the mountains while further inland hot dry air sits causing high winds on regular basis. It is one of the windiest places in north America so if you detest wind it might not be ideal... | |
