re: In light of Hell outside right now, what US state/city has the best year-round climate?

SoCal is the only area with year round awesome weather, but you have to deal with tens of millions of residents and tourists. And even more vehicles.

So outside of that, very few places that aren't rainy and cloudy as heck.

One of the best spots is west of Seattle, and receives less rain than Seattle, and more sun.

My brother and I bought a vacation home in Port Angeles Washington, for this very reason. Got a real good deal on waterfront property. If we aren't using it ourselves, then our cousins and friends are using it. Everyone agrees that it's an amazing place.Port Angeles is just west of Sequim, which is a highly liked small town of Washington.
