I have been in PNW many years...Salem, Seattle, Portland, Bend even Walla Walla. SO Oregon is great.

Scanned the tread and seems like a left out a huge factor...
We will be living off my CalPERS pension (we still plan on getting part time jobs).
WA does not tax pensions.
Other states without pension tax:
Alabama = too humid
Alaska = too cold
Florida = too humid
Mississippi = too humid
Nevada = too dry/hot
New Hampshire = too cold
Pennsylvania = too cold
South Dakota = too cold
Tennessee = too humid
Texas = too hot/humid
Washington
Wyoming = too cold
Spokane looks GREAT (hope you don't mind but I copied your pics to email to my wife.
When I suggested Spokane she quipped "it is out in the middle of nowhere" but I suspect she has never visited the town.
Whidby Island looks fantastic... if we really want to get away from it all... not much there for medical or airport.
