How is Vermont and/or Maine?

Im looking for a state to live in. To be honest I do not know which one I will check out but Im searching.

Lets see weather is no problem so long as its not as cold as Juneau/Fairbanks Alaska lol

I dont care to much for natural disasters.I do not want high crime rate.I do want Lots of nature,and easy access to it.If its a city I do not want it to be bigger than Eugene.I am in Seattle currently and thats way to big for me and more expensive than I;d like.So naturally I prefer small,safe,relaxing,cozy,towns. I love having some sun so I expect at least a sunny summer,in Seattle even in the summer its cloudy most the time which stinks.I want the town to be somewhat liberal or very liberal.I am a open minded,agnostic so.....yea I don't wanna run into a town where Id be hated for that.



Got any ideas on some nice towns or citys in either Maine or Vermont.

Tell me about them to please dont spare the details ^___^ tell me the cons and pros I guess

Also how high are taxes and cost of livingHow is Vermont and/or Maine?
Ah, you are really searching. My ex wife lives in Western Massachusetts, so I have spent a lot of time there. The country is beautiful, especially in the fall. But it is expensive, and the people are very up tight in my experience. I think you would be happier in Montana. Speaking of Montana, you might look at Kalispell up north. It is a growing town and you are just a hop, skip and a jump from Glacier National Park, and the Canadian border.
