Hate to be a contrarian (yeah right), but I'd go for So Cal.


That misty crappie weather is just not for me. Plus as much as I love skiing (18 times this season) and hiking/trail running (all the time), above all is surfing. I get it, I'm probably the only guy in this site who cares about exercising and surfing, but yeah, that's my vote.

Another thing, Mexican food (street or otherwise) is WAY better in So Cal, than in the PNW. I bet Asian food is better too....
