Replying to Enginerding Firms in/around Portland

I fully understand that this is cheesy/lame, but i figure i may as well use every networking feature available to me.

I'm moving to Hillsboro next fall (girlfriend got into grad school) and i'm checking to see what the job climate is like in the area for Civil Engineers. I have 2 yrs experience working with a private firm up here in alaska, have my BS degree, and my EIT license, along with some other bullshit training.

thanks in advance!
