I'd say any where in teh high moputain passes of Colorado. I've seen it 75-80 at 7000 go to 1100 and its cold.Then agian they don't get much summer really and the winters are long and harsh.
I am one of those people who would be perfectly happy if the summertime temp never made it to 70. Most of Maine experiences pretty warm summers, frequently above 80 with high humidity. Like anywhere though, there are pockets, either along the coast or in the mountains that are quite comfortable. I live on a coastal island in the eastern part of the state (known as Downeast Maine). It rarely gets above the low 70's, is quite breezy, so for my liking it is perfect. The down side for some is that we are pretty muck blanketed in fog from mid-June to mid-August. The winters here are cold and blustery, but we don't get nearly as much snow as the rest of the state.

The the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest have probably the mildest weather in the "lower 48" - winters are not very cold and summers are not very hot. Average summer high in Seattle tops out around 77/78 and areas along the Pacific Coast are generally even cooler in the summer.
Thanks for this info. I have always thought the the marine climate would be my favorite. No hot summers . No cold winters ?

I just moved to Georgia last summer from Mohawk Michigan located in the Keweenaw.I also cannot stand the heat and it sure is hot here in Georgia in the summer.Yes the first post is 100% correct about the temps in the Keweenaw.low in the 40-50 deg range with daytime temps in the mid 70 deg range.And yes,it is awesome living a couple miles from superior witch acts like a refrigerator.Even if it gets hot in the 80 to 90 range,you just have to go to the shore and it will be around 60 and with high temps you can usually see your breath with the two extreme temps.
I don't get it the OP was also asking for mild winters as well, isn't Michigan FREEZING during the winter time...? I wouldn't recommend that place for "mild winters"... I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for 12 years and I can say the summer does get hot, on average it may be in the high 80's but there WILL be a few days that it can get into the 100's... I suspect people don't think about the few days when it hits the 90's and 100's... I rather have a steady 80 degrees all the time than steady spikes of temperatures... the winters can get cold especially in the Pacific Northwest if it is windy... I lived in Seattle, where you will be cold albeit the snow doesn't stick around that long but its still cold...
I am in Colorado and have lived here most of the time since the '60's. You definitely have to stay in the higher elevations to escape the heat - CO is semi-arid, and HOT below 7500 ft. in summer. At 6000 ft, we are at 80 degrees today, and have been hot since APRIL this year. The temp is going UP ... too, soon we will be in the 90's, and just south in Pueblo it is already that hot, Denver is 81, we will all see 100 degrees too soon.
I hate the heat and the heat hates me, I would like to move.
The thing to remember about CO is dryness, severe, moisture-eating, doesn't matter even if it rains, dryness. (And it doesn't rain here like it used to -) You will see it on your skin - you will have different skin, be prepared....
Nowehere in CO are there any areas which can hold any humidity. If you do not mind such dryness and the expense of the higher elevation towns, (CO is a destination state.) then you may like it.
I am looking at Michigan, the cool regions. There's moisture in the air too. : )
