I also can't tolerate places that are at the extremes politically. But I find in Seattle's Eastside suburbs at least, where most of the white collar tech workers live, people are generally reasonable and not too extreme. And fiscal policies are more libertarian (although the city of Seattle itself has gotten more extreme in the past few years). I live in Southern California now, and the people are definitely more purple but actual policies are not.
On a side note, the PNW rain actually makes you car always kinda dirty. Can't apply tire shine, can't drive with your windows open, etc. most of the year. It bothers me, but good for you if it doesn't.
