I've lived here since 1980 so I'm definitely not coming back east. When my


wife and I started looking for places to live after suburban Seattle, we did look at a number of places elsewhere, but they were all in the west; Bainbridge Island, Gig Harbor, Port Townsend, Portland (which I agree is really great), Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, Newport Beach and Catalina in California, Phoenix (yuk!) and Sedona. We ended up buying in Tacoma which is pretty funny given its reputation. But we love it there and it is going through a revitalization of its own. Plus, a place on the water was more affordable, it had the lifestyle we were looking for, and it is close to friends and family.

We both still have lots of connections in the south, but Alabama, Virginia and Florida will be visits for us rather than places to live. They'll bury us in the northwest I expect. :)
