The drive to PDX is 2 hours without traffic and about 5 1/2 to SEA in ideal conditions.
I've heard that SEA is fairly easy to get. From what I could tell searching online it appears there is an early AM flight(pre 0600 departure time) to PDX and SEA out of EUG and another flight that leaves a bit later around 0730 or so for SEA. I was told you have to list on two flights.
I'm wondering if there are a reasonable number of trips that start late enough to make commuting from EUG somewhat comfortable. I would just move if I could but I've got roots set too deep in EUG with kids etc.
