My point is that when kids grow up they often move away from where they grew up. If, on the off chance that yours don't move away for college or career before they are raising their own kids, just as you are considering moving to find a better childhood for your kids they too can move to find a better childhood for their kids if Phoenix turns out to be a sweltering summer hellhole (or rather more of one than it already is).

Outlier events like last summer will become more frequent, but I think you will be hard pressed to find a better climate refuge than the PNW. The problem with climate change is that it eventually becomes a problem in one way or another for the entire globe. PNW is one of a handful of places that, while impacted, will be impacted less than most.

I got news for you. Biking in the rain sucks and there’s gonna be a lot more days of rain in Portland than days where it’s too hot to ride a bike.

Having lived in Ireland nearly a decade I'm pretty familiar with cycling in the rain.

It sucks, but is much nicer with decent clothing and infra.
