Yes, Harvey, as you get older, weather is a priority!Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
I went to a Packer game in December a couple of years ago and froze my butt even though I was born and raised in northern Wisconsin and wore the right layers and fabric of clothes!
I am partial to the weather of the Pacific Northwest. It is rarely too hot nor too cold. It's humidity is much lower than the eastern half of the country. Yes, it rains more frequently out here but it usually is a gentle rain.
The geography of the Pacific Northwest is very appealing. In Oregon or Washington, you have the coast, the mountains, the fertile valleys as well as the arid terrains.
The relative absence of bugs, particularly mosquitos, is noticeably apparent in the northwest. On a couple of family reunions in Wisconsin, my kids were appalled at the number of mosquitos in the midwest!
Seattle is an attractive large city but its traffic is horrendous. That fact of life in that city would be enough to keep me from moving there.
Cars last a lot longer out here. Without the extreme cold and salted roads, there is far less expense and upkeep in maintaining a car or truck.
My heart will always be in Wisconsin but I enjoy living here in the Pacific Northwest.Comment

Partial asked about the best "City", so is that anything over 200,000 or so? I really enjoy Portland Oregon, Fort Collins CO, and Seattle. Seattle is just a tad to large for my tastes but it is a great place. San Fransisco is very nice.
All have different tax structures so you have to take that into consideration. Austin Texas is cool.......if you can handle the heat and some of the Politics Texas can be a hoot. Hard for an Alaskan to say that. Lots of nice places in our wonderful country.

I've been to Honolulu and it's pretty nice.
I like the climate in Rapid City, SD a lot but if you travel in any direction out of the city there isn't really too much to see. Humidity is low and the weather feels nice.

It is extremely expensive but Miami is a great place to live. I have never seen so many nice cars any where else. My brother went to school in Texas and it was a nice place when i visited him.Comment

I don't intend any disrespect Packface, but the trio you mentioned are becoming too concrete and asphalt. Orange groves have been replaced with housing developments and the desert with more houses.
Now Sedona................that's a small piece of heaven.
Having said all that, the best place is still the east coast, perferably New England. Just wish it was closer to Lambeau instead of Gillette!!Comment
