The PUC offices are located in Salem, Oregon.  Salem has a population of over 125,000 and has previously been chosen as an "All-American City."  Salem is nestled in the Willamette Valley and affords the opportunity to enjoy many outdoor and cultural activities.  For example, for those who enjoy the activities available in larger cities, Portland and Eugene are within easy driving distance (40 to 60 miles).  For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Salem is near the Oregon Coast (40 miles) where you can enjoy beach combing, deep sea fishing, or just sitting before a crackling fire watching a storm come in on thundering Pacific Ocean waves.  There are also many nearby parks.  Mountain trails for hiking (20 to 60 miles) and ski resorts—such as Mt. Bachelor and Mt. Hood (120 miles)—are also within easy driving distance.  The Oregon Public Utility Commission offers both a challenging career opportunity and a nice place to live.  For more information on Oregon, check out the Oregon Blue Book web page: http://bluebook.state.or.us and the Salem Chamber of Commerce web page:  http://www.salemchamber.org/community/about.html
