Portland for sure if you want cost efficiency and a cool nice town. It's also only 2 hrs from Seattle and 4 from Vancouver.

Toronto was actually a place that had crossed my mind but I would think that'd be a logistical nightmare...?

Just looks like a really nice place to live lol.

If you're leaving the Midwest, you should go somewhere coastal. I love Florida, beach, sun, repeat!!

I live just outside of Charlottesville, VA. My house sits at the base of the Blue Ridge, and I can drive to the beach in less than 3 hours. Not as cheap to live as KC, but property taxes are much lower and the state income tax is virtually nothing if you own your own home and have normal deductions.

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

For some reason when I think Boise, I think population 1500. Why is that?? How many people DO live in Boise??

Seattle is awesome. Landscape, variety of activities, their economy is blowing up all over again (in a good way), and some of the best food in the country due to the place being a huge melting pot of ethnicity.

The downsides are the cost of living is through the roof. They don't have a state income tax, but they more than make up for it with the increased taxes across the board in all other areas. Except food. No tax on unprepared food. Gas is always half a dollar more a gallon than anywhere else, and property values, and taxes are sky high. It is also an incredibly liberal area, so if you're not leaning that way politically, it will drive you nuts.

We've lived in Branson for 4 years now, and we're about to spread our wings again ourselves. The advantage to not having kids is I can travel where ever I want, whenever I want. I also work in a field that literally allows me to live just about anywhere on Earth that I want too.

We're considering Vegas, Destin, Fl, the Keys, and possibly Breckenridge/Vail but are still in the planning stages and could easily add too, or subtract from that list in the near future.

It's exciting! Have fun, and God bless in whatever you decide to do.

How do you feel about Portland? Prices are lower, state income tax and it's only 2 or 3 hrs from Seattle.
