Surface wx in the SFO-OAK bay area is often nicer but rent is expensive. Winter wx at PDX can be pretty awful but COL is less and a lot of people like the area.
You'll get plenty of priceless wx flying experience in either place -- maybe more in PDX.
Employee parking is provided at both the OAK and PDX hangars.
