Why don't you move to an area that better suits you?
Why don't you pay for us to move to a better area? And then find us a job and a place to live once we move there? Cuz I would love to get the hell outta here if I could afford it...

It doesn't work that way. Choosing to live in the South doesn't mean you have to love every single thing about it. Asheville, NC probably has the most "ideal" weather to me, but that doesn't mean I'm automatically going to have a desire to live there. It's possible to love everything about Texas except the heat . I'm a born and bred southerner who just so happens to prefer cool weather over hot weather. I love cool, cloudy, windy days. Mist I don't care for....I'm the guy who likes to swim in the pool, drive with the windows down, do yard work, and a whole bunch of other "summer" activities when it's 61 degrees outside.

Some people have their perfect place to live...the rest of us have to compromise. Maybe we should tell you to move to Miami if you love the heat so much.

ETA: The one thing about the Pacific NW is that all the rain would reduce my motorcycle riding, but then again, I don't really enjoy riding when it's above 95 either. They don't make air conditioned leather.
Have you spent anytime in Houston, where the summer heat & humidity are more brutal than in Dallas ? Well I have, and I've also lived in the Seattle area where there is little heat & humidity but except for the summer months very little sunshine and instead endlessly overcast grey, drizzly, sunless skys. I'll take Houston, because atleast in the worst of the summer heat you usually don't go a week or 2 without seeing the sun.
Now understand this, the Seattle area is beautiful, a gorgeous place in terms of physical beauty with the mountains, ocean, and green everywhere. Go visit, but go in the summer. Trust me, I'm giving you good advise.

I own property in Asheville (actually Weaverville near the Blue Ridge Parkway) and have spent some time there. The summers are nice, but early spring and late fall and winter are the pits. Besides the view of the mountains Asheville is ugly. Rain, freezing rain or snow is forecasted for this week.

Miami? Nope. I don't mind the heat at all, but don't care for the super high humidity. In case you didn't know, Dallas has higher summer temperatures than Miami...

I love where I live, who I live near and my place of work. I was born and raised in Texas.

I know to cherish the few days I get, I have never and will never love any temp above 85°, but I also realize that a good day is a good day, no matter the temperature or weather conditions

Why should I pay to move you and find you a job where you'd prefer to live? Intelligent and proactive people are effective in 'making' things happen. Have you taken it upon yourself to find another job somewhere you'd prefer to live - or are you waiting for someone else to do it for you?

My least favorite weather is wind.
Then rain.
Wind + rain = very unhappy me.
