do you have kids? What kind of career?
Boise, Idaho. If you can get on the out skirts it's a great place to live. It's in the top 5 in the nation for raising a family. People are polite, not alot of crime. Lots of stuff outdoors to do and only about 45 minutes from being deep into forrest areas. Cost of living isn't terribly high. It's about average for what salaries are around here. It's a little smaller than SLC and Portland so it has a lot more of a home town feel then those but still feels big. I HATE SLC and portland is a cool town but dirty. Reno is Meh but it's nevada. 99% of Nevada is just blah. Spokane is referred to as Spo-compton. It's 70% s***hole. Seattle is outrageous to live. Don't know about Colorado so can't comment. Arizona most parts are nice but it's hot if you can get past that.
If your thinking mountainy and out west though i would most definitely look into Boise, Idaho. I've been here my whole life and although locals always complain and want out of here everyone always comes back. It's just to good here unfortunately
