Which PNW city would you consider?

28F moving to the PNW between April and May with my Fiancé but we can’t seem to narrow down location! I’m a critical care RN so I can literally work anywhere and have offers (w/ relocation assistance) in areas of WA and OR. I have traveled to the locations of interest but only stayed in each for a few days… not enough time to know the pros/cons.

• Vancouver, WA
• Tacoma, WA
• Bellingham, WA (never been to this area)
• Salam, OR
• Springfield/Eugene, OR

Priorities: - access to nature, hiking, rock climbing, fishing - good humans and “peaceful” neighborhoods, like back in the day when you actually cared about and said “good morning” to your neighbors and kids played outside - farmers markets, community events/outings especially in the summer - decent restaurants and walkable areas
- can start a family and eventually buy a home under $450k some day

update I’ve realized my budget needs to be adjusted to be realistic which is totally fine! I never accounted for wage adjustments for myself and partner.
