I really want to know what are the best cities to live in where it's diverse, calm, and is close to or has a lot of trees around it. I would also like to know how the weather is usually there.Thank you.

I would really appreciate it if someone who actually went or lives in Oregon would answer

Okay, I lived in Oregon 46 years, and my parents, kids, and grandkids all still live there.
My first recommendation would be Eugene. It's a great area to live, and there are a number of small towns near it so you can choose living in the city (it's a mid-size city with a small town feel), or in a small town where you can get to eugene in 10-15 minutes.

If you like a real small town experience, there are many small towns along the coast, where the views are spectacular .. but the winter weather is a bit grim.
Not sure what else to share....
Oregon is great.

I'd say Lake Oswego or West Linn. Lake Oswego is centered around a lake, and is close to just about everything, and has tons of trees! West Linn is one of the nicest cities in Oregon, and has trees all around. Both are going to cost you a bundle showever... Canby is out rural and you can get a couple acres there for a pretty reasonable price... I really like Wilsonville, has everything there and has lots of parks. The weather here in Oregon is really rainy and stormy! It is really windy too... I really like Oregon because of its wide demographics, mountains, beaches, ocean, plains, forests, deserts all in one State. Pretty cool, huh? Beavers are better then ducks!

It is beautiful. I live in Northern Cali and have been to Oregon a couple of times. It is very green with tons of trees.
The bad part is that it rains a lot. I mean a lot. And it can get really cold and windy in the winter.

Dont listen to that winny conservitive baby! For progressive schools and the best funded schools northern oregon is the best. southern oregon is slowly becoming more progressive but we need to weed out all those winny conserves there the real dettriment on the state.

It has a coastline, mountains and volcanic plains.
I don't like any of it, but it really depends on if you like being in 'the big city' on the coast, or inland.
There are too many people there for my taste. Many escaped California and brought their silly ideas with them. Ruined the whole state.
The weather is fairly mild.
