As a Dalles resident, I'll sum up the difference between the two towns with a simple question that'll drastically help answer where you want to live. Is your clothing/lifestyle of preference a colorful Northface, Columbia, Patagonia, or Saloman jacket with Hoka/Brooks/Merrell shoes? ....or would you rather wear overalls with Ariat boots?

Would be a decent place but it’s overwhelmed and understaffed at the moment. Forget about getting timely specialty care anywhere in the gorge. Plan on staying healthy, get a PCP, and needing to occasionally go in to PDX. Not sure how much this matters yet but Mid Columbia Medical Center is no longer associated with OHSU. Might make for some big changes in the near future related to health care in The Dalles? Beyond that the whole gorge & The Dalles is a great place to be living right now! It’s a super weird relationship they have. While they aren’t associated with OHSU anymore, they are getting acquired by Adventist which is associated with OHSU… I work for both and I still don’t understand it. knotwindy Since 25 Sep 2011 608 Posts Addicted Fri Jan 20, 23 8:07 am     Thanks for the update, if it ever does become something that makes sense please post again. _________________ curiously observing blurry patterns while slightly distracted thurmondmb Since 10 Jul 2018 66 Posts   Mon Jan 23, 23 9:02 am     Thanks all for the beta! We don't want to pay HR prices, help us find a rental for the summer to try before we buy moondog Since 15 Aug 2007 703 Posts white salmon Addicted CGKA Member Sat Jan 28, 23 7:08 am     https://columbiacommunityconnection.com/the-dalles/oncology-closing-at-celilo-center-in-the-dalles-on-feb-28-hospital-scrambling-patients-worried This was in the news this week. MCMC has a history of tension with employees. I have lost 2 doctors in the last couple of years. As much as I like The Dalles, it does have more of a crime and homeless issue compared to Hood River and White Salmon. _________________ moondog ay Since 11 Oct 2008 111 Posts HR - ME Stoked Sun Feb 12, 23 10:51 pm     Keep The Dalles Dirty!! thurmondmb Since 10 Jul 2018 66 Posts   Mon Feb 13, 23 11:52 am     help me find a place! we would live to do short term but will take what we can get        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
