If you are trying to escape high cost of living, high taxes, and retarded laws, while marginally better, Oregon and Washington aren't far behind California. They are basically CA "Me-Too" states. Eventually doing everything CA does. I couldn't stand living in the PNW, and if you like sunshine at all, you really won't like it there. It's overcast about 80% of the time.

I could talk about it for hours, but I've been in your shoes, and if you are looking for relief from over-regulation and high taxes, I'd look elsewhere. Good luck.
