Oregon Crowned the Most Moved-To State Yet Again and Here’s Why

Go Outside and Play
Another one that's no joke; Oregon has mountains, fields, gorgeous coastline, and hills abound. Perfect for hiking, camping, biking, surfing, boating, dune buggie riding, and pretty much anything you want to do outside.
