We used to live in Juneau, AK and loved it - the only drawback was the climate. Does anyone know of any places that are similar to Juneau, but with a warmer climate?

Port Angeles, Washington. The average temperture doesn't even drop to freezing. The flip side is that average summer temperatures don't even touch 70.
Anywhere along Puget Sound, would probably be a good choice. Similar maritime climate to Juneau, but warmer. As the previous poster said, Port Angeles is a bit on the cool side, but it's still wamer in summer and in winter than Juneau.
Plus, you can leave PA without getting on a plane or a boat.
How about Olympia, WA? It's got the same climate classification as Juneau, but is in a warmer latitude; it has a slightly larger population, and it also serves as the capital of its state. It's also got a lot of beautiful natural areas around it, and it's just plain nice.
Pretty much anywhere along the Pacific NW coast, from Port Angeles/Forks WA, down to Hoquiam WA, Ocean Park WA, Astoria OR, Cannon Beach OR, Lincoln City, OR, Newport OR, Florence OR, to Eureka CA.
Do note though, that the locations in NW Oregon through the Pacific rim of Washington are in a major storm track during the winter months. Lots of rain fall throughout this area during this time of year.
