16 Habits And Quirks That Make Oregonians Stand Apart From The Rest
Here in Oregon, we like to keep it weird, and indeed, there are many things we do that seem a bit, well, odd to the rest of the country. (That’s on them — we totally get each other.) Here are 16 habits and quirks that make Oregonians stand apart from the rest… in the very best possible way!
Wisconsin what? In Oregon, it's all about Tillamook, and we'll put this delicious dairy on just about anything.
With 363 miles of rugged shoreline that's free and open to all, we can't get enough of our beloved Oregon Coast.
And while we're at it, neither is hiking in the rain.
They are Oregon's unofficial state food, after all!
And just to set the record straight, it’s pronounced “Will-AM-mit.”

McDonalds? In-And-Out? Nope. In Oregon, Burgerville reigns supreme.
Flannel with shorts? Dressy flannel for a night out? We wear it proudly all year long!
Call it our pioneer spirit, but we Oregonians like to make things with our own two hands!
We know that Oregon is wondrous, but all too often, we take our state for granted. Oregon is incredible, Oregonians are awesome, and those are just facts.
People from Oregon sure are a unique bunch — some of the best people in the country! What other quirks about Oregonians have you observed? What habits would you add to the list? Share those in the comments below!
