Moving from Seattle area to Salem, Oregon

[Seraphim38]

I am accepted a job offer in the south Salem, Oregon area and will be moving from my Woodinville (Seattle area) home.

Since I will be new to the area, I would be grateful for any referrals for the following:

Realtors that are good?

Storage places we can store my motorcycle and my family's stuff in while we are finding a house?

Any furnished room rental or small cottage rental I can rent Sunday night through Thursday of each week, while I am working down there but my house up here is not sold yet?

Areas to shoot nearby, either ranges or wilderness (legal) shooting areas?

Good gyms in the south Salem area? I did a Google search and found one that looks OK but it was ridiculously expensive for a whole family

ARPC (Albany Rifle & Pistol Club) in Shed Oregon (just south of Albany) is a really nice club. Has many disciplines except distance beyond 200. Great hours & open 365 (excluding events).

We were members there when we lived in N Salem (near Keizer), drive time was OK. Far better than trying to find a safe woods spot to shoot.

Heard decent things about 4 corners rod & gun in Salem on here, however have never been.

Four Corners Rod and Gun Club is the Salem area Club. They have a web site.

Courthouse on South Commercial is the big Gym in South Salem

The whole area is peppered with Storage Units of all sizes

Physiq Fitness in South Salem is a large clean gym that is reasonably priced. Lots of students go there, but mostly at night. Parking is no problem.

Re: Realtors. I recommend Amy McCleod at Keller Williams (971) 208-5093. Her husband is a Marine and son-in-law was the football coach at Willamette. Solid family.

The best range in the area is ARPC. It's a bit of a drive from South Salem but 100% worth it.

Welcome to Salem and the mid-Valley.

The Courthouse for workout in South Salem.

Four Corners Rod and Gun Club, its a nice smaller private range, check out their calendar for events. I am a member, if you would like to be a guest out to the range, I can take you out there, see if it's a place you would like to join.

I'm a member at ARPC. I live in Portland and it's about 1hr and 15min travel time for me and although it's a bit of a drive, it's absolutely worth it.

Beware that many storage units will not allow motorcycles unless the fuel tank and crankcase are drained. They don't want flammable liquids because of insurance requirements.

I think he is beyond that issue. He moved five months ago.
