3447.
Stumbled on this at Oregonlive.
It's not a comprehensive list, but there are certain tells that alert the local Oregonian that You're Not From Here. We don't say "the" before the freeway number, we don't say "on line", and Jo-Jo's are a delicious potato thing you can get at the convenience store (well, at least you could in the 80s and 90s).
The Oregonian gives you a basic Oregon-English/English-Oregon dictionary at this link.

Link now wholly proper!
