Pick two of these options for your Portland dream life

We posed this question to our Instagram followers, now it’s your turn.

Imagine your dream life in Portland. Maybe you’re thinking of better weather, easier transit, and freebies from your favorite local spots — but it can’t be that easy, right? We make the hypothetical rules here, and you can only pick two.

We took to Instagram to ask our followers to choose from these five dream scenarios:

  • Timbers/Blazers tickets for life
  • Consistent winter sunshine
  • Endless supply of your favorite local coffee
  • Smoke-free skies in summer
  • No rush hour traffic

Not surprisingly, the biggest winners were a traffic-free commute and clean, breathable air, but we want to hear from our readers, too. Cast your vote for the top two options you’d pick.
