It looked like Brooklyn or Chicago but apparently it's set in Portland?

"According to an interview with Craig Bartlett it's an amalgam of large northwestern cities, including Seattle (his hometown), Portland (where he went to art school) and Brooklyn (the bridge, the brownstones, the subway)."

Real life Pig War took place in the Northwest.

I always assumed NYC when I was young too--IIRC, they drive to D.C. in less than a day for Veteran's Day, so that kind of cemented it in my mind.

I don't know why it's difficult for you guys to accept it's more than one. It's very much Brooklyn and very much Seattle. I don't know much about Portland but I'm sure the influence is obvious to anyone that's spent time there.

There was an episode where they drove to Wasgington DC and said it was a day's drive. If he lived in the NW it would be like a week drive

It's obviously NYC

Although the city obviously has influences from NYC and the show never outright says the location, if you go by the evidence throughout the series, the best guess of Hillwood City's location is the state of Washington. The best evidence towards this is when Helga and her mom were going home from a road trip, they drove by a sign that welcomed them to the state of Washington.
