Am trying to decide where to retire. I want winters not below 45, warm, near water, no hurricane or tornado seasons. I live in Lebanon, PA and all children and grand children are against my moving. So need close enough so they can visit on vacations. They do travel as far as North Carolina. And oh yes. The most important part. Affordable on a set income. Will be working part time wherever I go.

Except for being close & affordable San Diego would fit the bill weather wise
Anywhere on the east coast and southern states you are going to have HIGH humidity in summer and threat of hurricane if on the coast..
You may just want to stay put and if retired just stay indoors when winter temps plunge

Rainmae didn't specify humidity. Eastern Florida, like near Orlando, has virtually no hurricane season as it is in the wrong part of state for it. The only threat of a hurricane there, is a very weak hurricane that would hit Western Florida first, and then cross the state. By the time it hits around Orlando, or areas further east, it would be nearly dissolved to a Tropical Storm. Not sure about the tornado threat, although I have heard that waterspouts are occasionally sighted.
Other than that, like njkate said, S. California near San Diego would be your best bet. Both E. Florida and S. California will be fairly expensive though.
Average low for Seattle in Winter is 35, average high in summer is 75. Low humidity in summer, snow is a rarity in winter (and MOST snowfall is gone very quickly, and some years don't even get any at all), but you deal with a lot of overcast and drizzle in winter. Summers are absolutely beautiful. Clear skies and long days.
There are areas of Hawaii with low humidity located in the rain shadows of higher mountains. These locations tend to be smaller towns and are probably expensive.
Areas of California's Central Coast come very close if you are close to the water. Expense varies significantly mile by mile.
i am interested in visiting Seatle in the summer time, where is the best place i can stay within walking distances to attractions?
