Seattle (or Vancouver, Canada (if political winds bring -------------)), no ifs, ands, or buts, hands down.

I'm happy exactly where I am. An hour from Manhattan and everything I need and want, including my family, right here.

However...if my entire family could move as well, I'd move to Maui in a New York minute!

Hey, if I could afford to live in Hawaii, I'd be able to import NY bagels and pizza whenever I wanted

We had a condo on the ocean on Maui for awhile. It was a second home, and it just took too long to fly there. I knew I would get rock fever or island fever if I lived there full time, though. It was easy to hop a plane to another island, but, still, for me the feeling of being stuck full time on an island would not have been comfortable. That's just my hang up, I know. Now I live on the water in the Midwest.

I miss the seasons in So. California. If you live close to the coast, the temperatures are fine, but in the Inland Empire, it gets so hot in the summer and so very dry. It stays hot until about November. I have gotten to the age that I can't take the high temp. day after day..

I probably will never live in Washington unless my kids move there. I am in my 60s so won't wander too far. But I would love to at least try it. I LOVE the rain and rarely see it here, and a thunderstorm makes me positively giddy

Loved Orange County, CA, but missed winter (I'm a snow lover) and the sound of thunderstorms. And we were so tired of the traffic.

I was born in so cal, then at 20 years old my husband and I moved to Seattle. We lived there for 45 yrs. We retired, and went full time on our 45' motor coach for 4 years looking for the perfect place to live. I had to get out of the N.W. because I was so sick of all the rain and gloomy grey weather. I needed some sun, but not the heat, I wanted 4 seasons, some snow, and lots of sunshine. If your young, the N.W. will be great if you don't mind the rain. If you don't have any bone or muscular problems you will be fine. It is beautiful in the northwest, but as I got older, I had to get out and find sunshine. Good luck.

You should have just stayed. It is getting hotter and hotter here!

Never say never. I was older when I picked up and moved to the Seattle area. My kids were shocked that I would do that. Never have regretted it. My kids still live in California but wish they didn't!

I live in Washingtston state. Beautiful, yes. But politics/Seattle have ruined it. We are looking to move out.

We visit the Gulf Coast of Florida often for Spring Break or summer vacations. We like the area a lot. I would love to have a house or condo on the beach there.
