If a tropical cyclone hit Oregon it would probably have started as a hurricane, not a tornado. Typhoons form west of the International Date Line, and they move predominantly west. Typhoons are pretty much guaranteed to never move east across the IDL, because of the prevailing winds.
I think you got confused about the "NE Pacific Ocean" thing under the Hurricane column. The NE Pacific Ocean is the part of the Pacific Ocean that Oregon is on.
It would technically be an extratropical cyclone, but it would likely have started as a tropical hurricane off the coast of Mexico.
