I ran across some kid who said theres drift events at the local speedway, but I couldnt really find much in regards to "Drifting in Portland".
Any insight would be awesomesauce from folks who live there on Zilvia.

I moved up here 2 1/2 years ago. Well.. import, drifting scene is nowhere near California. I would say 20~25% of people here drive Subaru given the situation weather etc here. And very big VW/Volvo crows here as well.
We also have one very known tuner Jason Oefelein has a shop called PSI.

Also surprisingly there are quite a bit of people with GTR and Lotus, Vipers and such high $ vehicles.
As far as city and NW Oregon (Portland) is very different city than others i believe. It sure rains whole a lot. if you came here last weekend you were here just in time for little "break". it will rain till March to April.
I know I regret moving here. haha but hey, I think you should visit here little more to decide to move here. weather is one of most factor you will have to consider.
Also people here are very different that other people who lives in 21st Century. Portland is where 90s stuck and it is very true.
But what am I saying, you should see your self. I used to be working for screen printing company in LA as sales and factory manager. I tried to find a job here in same industry but guess Portland wasn't the place for those companies to have a factory here.
Sorry about too many random un-organized information.
