Housing is $$$$$$
Schools are iffy -- some are great, others not so much.

I don't know what the jobs are like, but I know a couple people (cyclists) in Boulder, CO that just love it.
Spokane WA is nice too, but again, I know nothing of the job market.
I'm with snap here. We left the Bay 16 years ago due to cost of housing, commute times and poor quality schools ( gotta love prop 13) and lack of mountains.
Spokane has a definite IT sector, just not on the scale of a huge city. Liberty Lake is where it's all happening. Hewlett Packard, Telect, XO, Worldwide Packets all have a presence here.
Our public schools are very good.
