Cause you'd never meet for coffee.

More seriously? 1. Threat of Cascadia. I was invested in real estate and we would have been stomped by the forecast 9+ quake. 2. Forest fires. The smoke window has so greatly expanded that air quality really bothered us. 3. It wasn't fun to go downtown anymore or ride bikes on the bike path (Willamette or W trail towards Fern Ridge Lake) because of the homeless situation.
4. After 20 years, we were in for a change. Never thought it would be this difficult to see our friends, though! The middle of the country (Kansas) also makes it so much easier to get to Europe (again, what a nasty surprise C-19 proved to be).

My wife was equally interested in exploring another part of the US; she's a bred and born Eugenean.

We do miss walking to Beppe's, Prince P's, and Hendrick's Park, though. We lived a few blocks from them--- and the Knight Arena.
