Agricultural and forestry exports — wheat, hay, lumber, Christmas trees in season — generate significant outbound volume. Mountain passes on I-84 east and on US-26 west of Mt. Hood are winter operational variables. Oregon has no general sales tax but a high graduated state income tax. Cost of living in Portland is high; rural OR is more affordable.
