I've been in Eugene, OR (2 hours South of Portland) for 5 years now and have yet to notice any earthquakes. You hear of them, mostly off the coast but inland a bit things are pretty mild. Of course it is a possibility. Please note that my earthquake-o-meter was calibrated in Southern California so others may disagree. I usually have to worry about my own clumsiness.

Checking with the USGS (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/) I can see there have been several small quakes in the Portland area so you are in an active zone. The USGS has global information if anyone else is interested. Share and enjoy.
