The first time I went to Florida I legitimately had difficulty breathing due to the heat and humidity...never felt anything like it before.
Now I have trouble breathing too in these climates and a lot further North from them as well, as soon as it's humid and warm. And sweating, from every little effort or just sitting around or sleeping. I don't get this in dry heat, unless it's over 100F may be.

Well yeah, that's why AC was invented. Sweating while sleeping? Did your home not have AC, or were you just cheap? Don't forget you will need heating in Tacoma.
I lived in LA, but not by the beach, more inland, and definitely no gloom...I guess you meant some fogginess or light clouds by the beach? I found that's no real gloom but rather a nice cooldown feature compared to inland, and especially compared to brutal gloom of Western WA, which nearly finished me off back when I tried to live there. It was nice to go down to cooler beach to escape heat and hot sun inland.
I lived in North Irvine, and we definitely had long stretches of June gloom.
Sure, it's more pronounced at the beach, but you often have overcast June days as far inland as San Bernardino.
I never considered Hanford to be a problem for Northwestern WA (and NE WA, which is kind of directly downwind if one assumes winds mostly blowing West->East, is more of an agricultural or barren type of place not being popular for relocation anyway). Is it?
I wouldn't want to be anywhere near a nuclear superfund site that's next to a river. With a nuclear powerstation next door.
Actually, Spokane is in eastern Washington and is a popular city.
True not many people would put up with Florida's 12 months a year of no cool relief from the oven heat that is Florida and move there if the cost of living in Florida was as expensive as California for example! Many people will make sacrifices and put up with 12 months a year of no cool relief from the oven heat that is Florida in order to save money!
Tacoma easily. Even Tacoma's summers are a little bit too warm, but acceptable. Both have nonexistent winters though. Orlando has a very interesting precipitation pattern that's pleasurable to look at.
Tacoma summers are weak, real weak. I need more heat. Winters too chilly for me but hey, each his or her own. At least winter is somewhat stable tho...
