Yes, my whole mom’s side of the family is from Portland. Went to high school in lake Oswego. The similarities are in topography (think the hills of Portland with ivy) and weather seasonality (rains through the winter months, but a heavier rain and more just overcast and less misting). Besides these comparisons it’s really quite different. Portland has a pretty vibrant downtown, whereas Pittsburgh is a city of neighborhoods and each neighborhood has something unique to offer. The people and culture here is different, you just have to experience it.
