So, kids are leaving the nest and mama bird wants to fly away too.

I'm looking for a town/city in the West where I can ride to work, shopping etc. Or where I could ride to the train station (I'm done with busses) to go to the job.

Good weather (that is ...not rainy like Seattle) lots of sunny days.

Not hilly like Seattle.

And then, of course, the kicker - someplace where RE prices and cost of living aren't too high.

I work for a community bank (e.g. I'm not a high-roller) and I'm also an online finance professor, blogger and writer and plan to work for a few more years (I'm 52) and then become self-employed writing, teaching, consulting and
executive coaching.

Any and all suggestions welcome. TIA!
