This is all subjective and based on preference, not who I think are the best.
San Francisco
Los Angeles
Seattle
Portland
San Diego
My hometown of Sacramento doesn't make the cut. However, to say that it is not a major west coast city is absurd. Sac has a metro area of over 2 million.
I made it to Sacramento for the first time six months ago and liked it a lot. One of the the most underrated midsized cities I can think of in the entire country up there with SLC and Milwaukee. I think it is overllooked because you've got three of the top six or seven metro areas in the entire country that get all the headlines out there..
pw72 knows what he is talking about. Bellevue is looking about as large as downtown Portland and as anti-building as Portland has become, Bellevue should surpass Portland within this decade...easy.

Yeah but Portland is a major city and metro area in the US and Bellevue is just a part of one. I am not saying that Bellevue isn't a nice place, because it is, but Portland is light years ahead of Bellevue for the OP's criteria.
