Max temps in summer <85F, min temps in winter >25F, max humidity anytime <70% would be my basic requirements. NW Washington fills the bill very nicely. We lived in Tidewater VA for three years (job-related). The 3 pm thunderstorm every day in summer was a real trial - 3" of rain in 45 minutes. Moving back to WA was the best thing ever.
We're close to the water here (about 75 feet away across the street) and the bay outside the marina is about 600 feet deep a couple of miles off shore. Most of the water flowing into the bay is snow melt, so it stays pretty cool and moderates the temperature locally. Yesterday afternoon, it was 82 in town and around 72 in our neighborhood just 5 miles west.
I'll take the odd earthquake or volcanic eruption every 25 years or so rather than daily thunderstorms and tornadoes every week in spring and summer.
