While I don’t disagree that The Territory is full of cool people, there is also rationalist stuff in Portland! Which is probably more convenient (ETA: Whoops, Adam beat me to it!)
(Adam, congratulations on getting out of Vegas! :P)
Cool! There’s also the Portland Effective Altruism and Rationality group here in Portland. I haven’t had the chance to attend yet though, I always seem to be too busy, but I plan on it!
And I forgot to mention it in the post, but I like how Seattle is only a two hour drive away. Which would mean for us either a ~$20 bus ride or renting a car. Similar with the coast being two hours away if you want the ocean, but that I think you’d need to rent a car for.
Take note: it is only 2 hours away if you are driving in the middle of the night, on a weeknight. Else, it is 3-4 hours depending on how bad traffic is (there will almost always be some along I-5).
Oh yes, in looking at Google Maps I see that you are correct. I was just going off of memory when I said two hours. Someone told me two hours at some point.
Enjoy Portland! Btw, if you want to hang out with some cool people, there’s a rationalist space in Seattle called The Territory full of cool people.

Haha yup! Thanks! I am not missing the 120 degree weather right now, that’s for sure.
