    Did you check your battery/try to jumpstart it? Sounds like a dead/drained battery to me...

    that is my first thought too. DEAD BATTERY. Has it been cold lately in oregon (not cold to you, to the car.. below 32F?) cause batteries and cold dont like each other. If it did freeze bring it to a auto store that has a battery checker and have them check it. If it's bad AFTER charging, then get their best battery. in the northern states you can't get cheaper batteries you'll end up paying more in the end. So far i accidently let my battery freeze twice, both times i brought it in and gradually let it warm up then charged it, and it's still kicking. so anywho... get it checked.

    Sounds like a bad battery. A dead battery can hold just enough charge to light up the interior lights but as soon as you turn the key, everything will shut off.

    dead battery or bad ground on the battery - terminal. also there is a "main" fuse, 70 amps, under the hood, check it for 12V on both sides

    oh also maybe your ignition switch is screwed up, try hotwiring the starter (use a screwdriver between the starter + and the solenoid wire or tap the battery) and see if it cranks over. if it does then you know the battery is good
