Can I just empty water tanks instead of winterizing?

I live in Portland, where the average lows don't usually go below freezing, but you never know. In regards to winterizing, can't I just empty the water heater tank and fresh water tanks and leave...

The OP is obviously talking about Portland Oregon. In Portland Maine you would absolutely have to winterize with about 3 months of below freezing nightly lows.
In Portland Oregon, yes you can just empty and most likely that would be just fine.
