Manufacturing as % of Gross Production:
State income tax rates:
There's also no sales tax in Oregon, so it's a good place to buy stuff retail. It is wise now considering that 48 states can't compete with no sales tax businesses on the Internet.

I was looking for maps where Oregon is in the top ranking, to correlate with Bitcoin use. Besides Bigfoot sightings and breast feeding, I came up with two:

There is a pretty strong libertarian movement going on in Oregon, and bitcoin has infected it.
From everything I have seen, Oregon is almost as liberal as Vermont.
You are not even allowed to pump your own gas because the government is so into protecting you from yourself.
I have been promoting bitcoin in Portland full time for the last year. I have left bitcoin info cards at hundreds of stores and restaurants that I have gone to. I have a handful of merchants locally accepting bitcoin including Harp vegan cafe, Mirador community store, Thirst PDX health store, FloatOn float tanks, and others that are soon coming online. Ive gotten dozens of Etsy merchants based out of Portland to accept bitcoin, such as http://www.etsy.com/shop/tarabrisbine , or you can get hypnosis sessions locally for bitcoin from http://jillianbrownhypnosis.com/. Ive given talks to the bitcoin group that Ive organized over facebook with over 100 members now. We had a meeting last month with 25 people, and have our coming meetup this sunday. I gave a talk on bitcoins to the Business Technology class at the local community college, as well as the local Silver and Gold club, and at the Occupy Portland events. I have sold bitcoin to many dozen people via localbitcoins.com, got them setup and showed them how to use it. I am scheduled to be on a currency panel being interviewed on KBOO radio in two weeks.
TIL osmosis is single-handedly responsible for bringing Oregon to the top of the Google trends for Bitcoin.
Only medical mary j. Not sure why it is popular in Oregon. I live there and don't know anyone that uses bitcoin.
Was thinking the same... I'm in Eugene.There is a pretty strong libertarian movement going on in Oregon, and bitcoin has infected it.
I just created a meetup.com group for it:
http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Bitcoin-Group/
Only three people are on the meetup group so far, but the meeting this sunday should have many more as it has been passed around a lot in email.
Also, Intel is located in Oregon, and bitcoins are starting to get pretty popular on the intel campus.
Finally "it is full of alternative minded people" is totally right on.
Interesting - I was rather unaware of the happenings in Portland regarding libertarians. And Intel - is that anecdotal? Have you heard this from people who work at Intel, or do you work there, or..? I just created a meetup.com group for it:

No but it is full of alternative minded people.
Just saw that out of all the states in the US, Oregon is #1 in search volume for Bitcoin right now. Any good reason for that?
