I'll second that, and add a few things:
If you have paved parking and path to your front door, it's no problem whatsoever. Rain isn't too common, mostly it's just a little drizzle. You won't get soaked between the car and the indoors very often, I don't even carry an umbrella anywhere. OTOH, if you have a gravel (God forbid it's dirt!) driveway or walkway to traverse, it's going to get miserable quick. Everything gets muddy and filthy, your car, your house, it gets into everything.
Pine trees are everywhere. Don't park undeneath one every day, the needles don't come out of the carpet, they fill your vent inlets, drip rails, etc.
It's also a great place to ride a bicycle. A lot of Portlanders bicycle commute year around.
