Where to live in the USA?
I have always lived in los angeles (and the surrounding area), I was born here, raised here, and stayed here for college....trouble is I absolutely cannot STAND hot weather!!! I have wanted to get away from this weather for a LONG time but there has always been one reason or another to stay in there area. But now, in May I'm graduating with a nursing degree to be an RN, and I'm not going to be tied down to anyone or anything. So I can finally move somewhere different! Being an RN I will likely be able to find work anywhere. I'm looking for a place that is not hot at all! I want a place where like the maximum temperature is 70....I want people to be griping about a heat wave at 70*. Where in the United States fits that bill? I welcome all suggestions :-) thanks! I'm not worried about staying in the continential US....Alaska is a possibility. I'm ready for a change and an adventure! What are good places to live in Alaska...it's so huge and I know almost nothing about it.

Colorado by Colorado Springs but don't live in Colorado Springs its self because its very dangerous. But it doesn't usually get to hot, maybe like 75 degrees max maybe hotter on like a really hot day in the summer.
2 :
Try Minnesota. It is a lovely state with mild summers, for the most part. Another possibility is Washington or Oregon.

I agree with the answer that said the NW. I assume you want to stay in the continental US or I'd say try Alaska. It would be one heckuva change from LA but you might love it.

Anchorage

Alaska is in the 80s in the summer like most places, if you want colder weather ALL year you have to find a higher altitude, rather than latitude. Colorado is the highest elevation of all the states by far, Leadville CO's record high temperature ever was 84F, usually it's around 70 in the summer, and teens in the winter. It snows in Colorado from October til the middle of May, and you can ski all year long (in the backcountry, not at ski areas). The mountains get around 300inches or more, depends where you go. Also if you're from SoCal your definition of summer is different from people in cold places.... summer is only June, July and August. Sometimes it snows in June in the Rockies, and it's usually in the 60s again by September. Occasionally snows in Sept as well (it's supposed to this year) So while Alaska gets colder in the winter, it also gets hotter in the summer than the Colorado Rockies. But again, short summer in both places.
