For centuries, Americans and people from all over the world have heeded Horace Greeley s advice to go west. The West Coast of the United States has been calling settlers ever since the early 1800s. From the Oregon Trail to the Gold Rush to 1967 s Summer of Love, there is something magnetic about the Pacific Coast of the United States that calls to the hearts of those looking to start anew.
And who could blame them? From the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California to the brilliant minds of Silicon Valley, the verdant forests of Oregon, and the lakes and towering mountains of Washington State, the West Coast is incredibly varied and dynamic. Thus, narrowing down the best places to live on the West Coast can certainly be a challenge.

They recommended residents put some [water] in your kettle or fridge for drinking in case your water needs switching off for the repair.
From worm-charming to bun-throwing bouts - it may be nearly 2021 but Britain s bizarre traditions remain as important as ever.
More than 10,000 Britons usually take part in eccentric festivals and competitions every year - with up to 60 events across 35 counties.
Covid-19 may have brought a temporary halt to many but here we take a look at some of the weirdest traditions from yesteryear that will hopefully bounce back in 2021.
Tar Barrel - Ottery St Mary, Devon:
The Tar Barrel Festival is thought to date back to 1605 around the time of the gunpowder plot.
But there are various other alternative suggestions to its origins including for the fumigation of cottages as well as acting as a warning of the approach of the Spanish armada.
