I too have really enjoyed working with the controllers in the Portland OR
vicinity.  

While taking a fellow pilot  to  an  FSS  with  full  weather  info  (TV
monitors,   charts,   and   the   whole  mess),  I  landed  at  portland
international (PDX) thinking that was where it was.  The actual location 
was at Hillsboro about 10 miles to the west  of  PDX.   When  requesting
clearance for leaving PDX, the following dialogue occured: 

"Portland Tower, Grumman 9861 Lima ready for departure"
"61 Lima, what's your destination?"
"Hillsboro"
"61 Lima, NONSTOP??? "
