Larger cities in the Pacific Northwest seem like the best overall fit. Definitely Seattle and Portland in the US and then Vancouver in Canada.

Boston would be too much like NYC.

What about San Francisco? Lots of fog to keep you happy, plus very urban, decent public transportation, and a lot of young people.
True, and same with Madison.

I have seen many keep mentioning Seattle but he did say not a sports town and they have football, baseball, WNBA basketball, 2 WHL hockey teams, soccer and more.

They are a bit of a sports town.

Seattle is so much more than that, though. It has a great sense of community and would be a terrific place for someone looking for the OP's criteria to put down roots IMO.

Never said it wasn't alot more than just a sports town but when someone says they do not want a sports town, I just thought a town that was very heavy into sports, no matter what other attributes it may have, would not be a good fit.

Rangers and Islanders.
