If you’re looking to move to the west coast, consider moving to Portland. I’ve only heard great things about the city. You might get a lot of rain, but it’s supposed to be very friendly to young families and has plenty to keep just about anyone engaged. The forests are particularly beautiful, especially in the rainy season.
If you need to find a house, consider a Portland property management company. They often have a lot of property open and available to to show to potential owners. Just make sure you get to know your area before you commit.
