As someone that grew up in New England and now living in western Washington for over 6 years, I'll go with the PNW but I do love New England as well. I'm big into hiking and outdoors and it's dramatically better out here for that. Also milder summers and winters are a bonus.
Depends on the states. Washington state and NH have no income taxes. However WA state has high sales taxes. Property taxes in NH are ridiculously high while property tax rates in WA state is about same as MA. MA has moderate rates of sales tax and income tax.
OR has high income taxes but no sales tax. This is why all the good paying jobs are in Seattle and not Portland.
If you're a high income homeowner in Seattle, you will likely pay significantly less taxes than a high income homeowner in Boston.
