The wife and I lived up there in Oregon (near Grants Pass) for 17 months. I'd have to say that Dave is correct in that the majority of the liberals are in Portland, Salem, and Eugene. Most of the people that we interacted with while we were there were pretty conservative.

Here is a map of the 2016 election based on county voting instead of coloring a whole state blue or red. Note the amount of area in Oregon that is red.
