I live in WA and used to be a Portland Trailblazer season ticket holder since we live closer to Portland than we do Seattle. I hated the Sonics but I have always rooted for the Seahawks and Mariners.

this is me to a T. always loved the M's, Blazers and Hawks. couldnt stand the Sonics. being so close to Portland, i never really attached to a team that was farther away.

Yep me too !

There are a pretty good number of us down here. Zebulon Dak is another from the Rose City.

Portland is not a big sports town in general, and it's definitely a cultural mix because of all the people who are transplants. (I'm one.)

No, it's not hard to root for the Seahawks because they represent the Pacific Northwest as far as I'm concerned. They're not nearly as localized as teams on the East Coast. (Look at the relative distance between DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and NY for reference.)

I live in the 'couve, but grew up in Yakima.

casa diablo is crazy man. The private dances are too expensive but the girls on stage really earn their money.

Not for me since I'm from Washington originally . What annoys
Me about living Oregon is the amount of bandwagon fans down here, its crazy.

I find bandwagon fans in every town. Look at Mariners when they are winning as opposed to last year.

Portlander here! Well, Beaverton, fully dedicated fan since '99, bandwagon before.

Met a number of .net people while using my BeavHawkFan moniker at the last Cheney Training camp.
Looking forward to making any local planned get together, when I cannot wrangle up the company seats. :2:

I'm down in S. Oregon...among the Whiners and Oakland Thugs fans...

Grew up in Olympia, now residing in Tigard (just south of Portland). Rabid Hawks fan since team inception.

Portlanders in general have no issues with Seattle that I've heard of since living here. The only ones who have the "little brother" syndrome are the people who "represent" Portland, ie: the local ESPN radio station.

Unless I've been going to the wrong places, Portland isn't a very good pro football town. They love their Blazers, are divided with Duck and Beaver fans, and I do see a lot of Hawk gear, but overall not real hot on pro football.

Now, the Timbers are another matter. Evidently soccer is the official sport of hippes and rabid liberals everywhere.

I wear my Seahawk hat everyday and get plenty of "Go Hawks" etc etc....more so lately

I live in PDX, but grew up in Friday Harbor WA. Been a Seahawks fan my whole life.

Pretty much, yeah. Hipsters unite!

I was born in LA. Grew up in Spokane. Moved back to Cali and currently reside in West Seattle so I don't have a clue about what Portland thinks about the Hawks. The Timbers and Blazers suck.

I'm from the Portland area, though I will be moving to Yakima, WA in June.

Born in LA, moved to Gresham as a child right before the Seahawks were born, still family branching out in the Portland/Vancouver area, all Seahawks fans. Little Sis brings her clan of 7 up every year for at least one game.

There better be a REALLY GOOD reason to move to Yakima.

Born in Washington, raised in Everett, lived in Louisiana for 5 yrs, moved up to Portland, now live in Tualatin, been a Seahawks fan since day 1.

To help take care of my wife's step-father who has Parkinson's. Also, 100 more days of sunshine a year.

I met more Seahawks fans in San Diego in 2 days than I've met in Portland in 10 years. That might be an exaggeration and probably skewed by likelihood due to proximity but it sure felt that way.
