Great information in the attached source.  Hope this helped.\n\nOregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States bordering the Pacific Ocean, California, Washington, Idaho, and Nevada. Its northern border lies along the Columbia River and the east along the Snake River. Two north-south mountain ranges—the Pacific Coast Range and the Cascade Mountain Range—form the two boundaries of the Willamette Valley, one of the most fertile and agriculturally productive regions in the world.\n\nOregon has one of the most diverse landscapes of the fifty states. It is well known for its tall, dense forests and its accessible, scenic Pacific coastline. Less well known are the semiarid scrublands, prairies, and deserts that cover approximately half the state in eastern and north-central Oregon. It is one of the few places in the Northern Hemisphere where lift-serviced alpine skiing is available year round.\n\nThe state's name is properly pronounced ôr'ĭ-gŏn'. The pronunciation ôr'ĭ-gən is also common, but considered incorrect by residents, who have been known to sport T-shirts and bumper stickers spelling the name "Orygun" in order to educate visitors.\n\nOregon's population in 2000 was 3,421,399, a 20.4% increase over 1990. The Census Bureau estimated Oregon's population to have reached 3,594,586 by 2004.

But since it is here, I'll answer.\n\nI lived in Oregon for 4 years and loved it.  I lived in Corvallis and Portland.  It was usually raining, or had just rained or was going to rain. (Does that let you know that it wasn't usually hot?)\nI didn't want to move again but we moved to Mt. Shasta, California and stayed for 20 years!  We LOVED it even more.   This time it was super hot in the summer and super cold with snow in the winter!\nThe people were very friendly and helpful in both areas.\nWe moved again to the Central Valley in California and have been here for 5 years.  We DON'T like it.  Too many people, cars, houses, and etc.  The people aren't nearly as friendly and are always in a hurry.\nSo, I'd say,"GREAT DECISION!"\n(Of course, it depends on WHY you are moving but Oregon is a great place to live)

The best ting to do is to start with info directly from the state's web site. Most second and third grader's can handle reading the basics on these sites. If not, she can read through it with an adult.\n\nhttp://www.el.com/to/oregon/\n\nThere are many websites with this type of info. Also, you can write to the chamber of commerce for specific info on a particular area in the state. Here's one for Salem, Oregon--\n\nhttp://www.salemchamber.org/\n\nYou can also have her search for web quests on line--\nThese are learning activities for certain grades and subjects.
