A. Seattle B. San Francisco C. Chicago
Original Criteria:
1. I would need wherever I live to be in close proximity to mountains, the ocean, or a big city. A place that comes to mind that has all of that is Seattle. I need beautiful views, or the beautiful chaos of a big city.
2. I need a place that will not normally get over the high temperature of 90 degrees. I would rather be cold than hot.
3. I would need to be about an hour or two hours out from the airport because I would love to be able to visit family more than once a year, my goal would be to visit once a month because family is important to me.
4. I would need to be in a place that also shows potential, and is moving along with the times. I couldn't be stuck in an outdated environment.
5. I would like a place that has a nightlife in a short drive proximity, but not anything that would interfere with the raising of children eventually.
