Spokane- RAIN!!!
Odgen- Nothing there
California- Too expensive to live
My choice:
South Carolina- Great scenery, close to florida (except for the hurricanes lately), lots to do and see.

There is always the threat of hurricane, but just about anywhere is a natural disaster hazard.
Arkansas - Tornadoes/Storms
Washington/California - Earthquakes
Utah - Mormons (heh) There is no one else to report if a disaster occurs in Utah

California has both, as well as extremely expensive housing.
Spokane is not known for rain. It is, however, known for snow.
I don't know anything about the other locations.

The Sacramento area is actually quite reasonable. Summers can get kinda hot, though...

Towards the coast, yes. Not nearly as much inland.
And if this means anything, there are quite a few really good scratch leagues in the Sac area (including the world-famous Steve Cook league), and no shortage of tournaments. Also, the Bay Area and Reno are only a few hours away.

I think the wife and I have narrowed it down to Spokane or Utah.

But I LOVE UTAH! If I could actually make a living up there doing what I do for a living (Title Insurance), I would live there in a heartbeat. I have family in Moab, so I visit often (not as often as I would like) and I think it is the greatest place on Earth. I will most likely retire up there as long as I have a little money saved up. About Ogden specifically, my dad lived there for a little while and said it is nice. My vote definitely goes to Utah. Ogden is only 35 miles from Salt Lake City, so you are close enough to the big city, yet definitely far enough away. Let us know what you decide!

Andrew, if Spokane is where you will move, you will have the great pleasure of meeting and perhaps getting to bowl with our esteemed member, Bob Hanson. No doubt he will be able to get you lined up with a team and a league and a bowler of your caliber will fit right in with the best in that area.
Bones, you failed to mention that there is a down side to this.....Wouldn't he also have to put up with Rags??????
Sorry Rags, just playing with you.
