I'm sure a lot of people know this, but Pro Photo Supply in NW Portland sponsors a lot of really great photography and Photoshop classes.  Some of them, like the upcoming Nikon seminars, are really cheap $5.  Even their more "expensive" courses, such as Basic Photoshop, are pretty reasonable when compared to similar college classes. 

All of their events can be found here: http://www.prophotosupply.com/p-events.htm

I think the upcoming Dramatic Outdoor Lighting Seminar at Mt. Hood could be really good.  I to learn how to take great ski shots!  

Examples of stuff that's coming up:

Nikon D90 DSLR Seminar
Nikon D3000/D5000 DSLR Seminar
Digital Perfection with Photoshop
Basic Photoshop
Photoshop Elements
Learning to Use Your Digital SLR Camera

This is great! Thanks for sharing...let us know how that seminar goes. I would be interested in attending one if you think that are helpful.
Yeah, just go into the shop and ask to check some models out, they are super helpful. I bought my Canon there but the comparable Nikon was a pretty close contender.
If you're looking at getting a cheap, entry-level DSLR, then your best choices are these competing Canon and Nikon models:

Canon Rebel XS (about $550)
Nikon D3000 (about $550)

Canon Rebel XSi (about $650)
Nikon D5000 (about $700)

They are pretty neck-to-neck on features, but I would go for a model with live view, because it's really useful for focusing with certain shots. I tossed back and forth between the two cheapest options for a while, but ended up buying the Canon Rebel XS because of the live view feature, and I'm glad I did.
