Hi Amy -

I have heard the nicest place (weather wise) to live on the Oregon coast is in Brookings. The worst is in Tillamook county which gets the most rain.

I knock the covers off the baseballs at the batting cages across 217 from Washington Square. I think there is this place in Hillsboro near Tualatin Valley Hwy, but I have never tried it...

It is not too far from Cornell Rd.
