Different clientele / surroundings I guess. I can literally say I don't see it. Also don't hang in areas that I might.
But I do MTB throughout all the wonderful trail systems, gravel in Campbell Global/SVT/Tokul/PTC, hike wherever, ski at the pass (yeah, Stevens/Crystal are better, but I can literally be on a lift within 25 mins of leaving my house), don't have to fight I-5 traffic, my kids can play in our neighborhood (built in the 80s) and I don't have to worry. Are their minuses? Sure. But I have lived all over the world (and the US) via my previous career. I am still traveling all over the world via my current career (sitting in a hotel room in ATL as I type this) and I've experienced a lot.
We chose North Bend intentionally. We chose well.

They can go visit a couple of reservations to see what a third world country looks like.

Cool story still sucks ass and I moved as far away from here as I could when I could. Too many drugs.

That couple inches equals a lot. :) I dig it though. Outdoor sports out the ying yang.

Sure thing! I hope you enjoy your trip here!
I wouldn't recommend Seattle unless you enjoy big cities. However, I've taken a ferry from Seattle to Victoria (British Columbia) and had lots of fun. Or, you could look into taking a ferry to San Juan or Orcas Island north of Seattle. I guess it depends on your budget and how much time you have.

Potentially very scenic if they took Bridge of the Gods

Torn down many years earlier than that. Where that building stands now has been a public bathroom for the little beach park on the north side of the ferry dock for quite some time. I am curious though, I can’t remember how long it’s been since that building was torn down.

just letting you know since there might be a bit of a language barrier that "indian" is a bit of an outdated term in english. "indigenous" or "native american" is typically preferred. safe travels!

Lol I thought the same thing. OP doesn't realize that there is a Vancouver in British Columbia Canada (Vancouver B.C.) and a Vancouver in Washington state USA. The distance between Portland and Vancouver, WA is a 10 min drive from PDX so that would be a very short trip lol.

I worked for a car rental agency in the PNW for 13 years and during 9/11. The rental agency will generally be very careful about one way rentals but if you are not a Canadian citizen and/or returning the car back to the US you’ll be fine.

Definitely check the language in the rental contract. I have seen ones that won’t even let you drive out of state.

Another vote for the 101, especially stopping at the Hoh rainforest, and what is called the "Tree of life". Ruby beach is also beautiful.
Pt Townsend is a lovely place to stay and a really cute town.

You can drive an american rental car into Canada temporarily as long as you are not a canadian citizen.

Not a very long road trip, guess you can park on the side of the bridge for a few minutes to look at the view, but I'm not aware of any towns on the river unless atlantis exists and it's in the columbia

That restaurant was torn down sometime in 2005 or 2006, going by Google Earth historical imagery.
