Tacoma is set to bust out if you are looking towards buying for an investment. That's where we are going to downsize to in the near term. The Stadium, Theater, Brewery and Medical Mile districts are going to be very solid as they continue to expand their light rail.

With your want of sun, I would suggest looking at the Tri Cities area in Eastern WA. Yes, it does get cold snaps at times, but there is quite of bit to do, biking and such and around 200 wineries within an hours drive or so. Trust me, I have been to multitudes with my wife.

Winters for Wa residents is a good time to travel south to the sun as we do as much as we can. Even more when I pull the plug next month!!

What is the "Tri Cities area"? Pardon my ignorance.
