I've had the same exact problem with finding a testing center in this area. I took the DSST World Religions at Corban College in Salem, OR. It was a long drive, but my family was going there anyway. The people there were very friendly and helpful.
This spring I took the DSST Speech at Warner Pacific in Portland. They are hard to get a hold of, and they do only offer testing one day a month. But I was able to take the test there, and they were accommodating once I got there, about starting late. Of course, DSST Speech is always a paper and pencil test (with a tape recording section, too). Last winter they said they were planning on enabling computer based testing for DSST exams, but so far nothing.
A third option that may open up is Portland Community College. I am in contact on-and-off with staff at their Capitol Testing Center about offering DSST testing there. They've filled out the preliminary application, and we'll see what happens.
