No. But technically Oregon could.
Hurricanes and Typhoons are tropical cyclone storms that are regionally specific. In the Atlantic and the North Pacific east of the dateline, it's a hurricane; in the North Pacific west of the dateline, it's a typhoon. (Elsewhere, it's sometimes a cyclone.) So in North America, it's always a hurricane, even on the west coast.
The water temperature is very cold off the coast of Oregon, and slows the velocity common in most tropical cyclones, that gain a lot of power over warmer water.

We get remnants of typhoons, the biggest known one was back in 1962 when former typhoon Freda invaded the area, causing widespread damage, but by this time it was extra tropical in nature. As for the kind that you get in the Southeast part of the United States, the water here is just too cold for that, our ocean temperature is about 20 degrees cooler for forming true hurricanes.
