What is your country's equivalent to Portland, Oregon?

In Anglo-America Portland is a medium-sized city that has a reputation for these sorts of things:

Weird/edgy/hippie culture different from basically everywhere else

Artsy

Nature-y

Bunch of political extremists, but primarily left-wing

In a mountainous, highly forested, mild climate

Strong, autonomous local identity

Not quite as unfriendly as other cities, but still introverted

Relatively isolated and a little wary of outsiders

Despite its size and isolation, still competes with the big cities in terms of stuff like food quality, access to foreign markets, and infrastructure
