Welcome to the forum.
I would recommend a class A as they are no harder to drive and no more expensive to maintain than a class C. The class A will have more storage and better access to the storage.
Having slides is the best advance in RV design period. I would never go back to a non-slide coach NEVER.
Now one thing you haven’t mentioned is a towed. I would never leave home without a toad. You lose over 80% of the things you can see and do without a toad.
I haven’t looked at pricing in the North West. You may need to travel to get a better price. Here is one I found at ppl.com a consignment dealer that sells a lot of RVs.

I will say you are better buying as new as possible because you can take advantage of improvements in drivetrain and accessories.
When you are looking at a coach check the tire dates as you don’t want to get stuck with 7 year old tires and have to buy new ones before you can go anywhere. I would never run tires over 7 years old regardless of how great they look.
If you have questions just ask.
