Well, Juneau, Alaska is a pretty good fit. It is on the (northern) west coast, is a small town (30,000 spread across a 46-mile long, two-mile wide urban area), low crime (we do have some bicycle theft though- oh, and the occasional murder), good hospital, great music scene, no gangs (cops like it here, vital arts region (5 levels of live theatre, 2 symphonies, folk festival, Jazz and Classics festival, music from folk to opera in home and hall.)

Wild Spirit

Traveled north from Seattle in the year of '88
In search of 'Alaska' and praying I wasn't too late
I stopped in Juneau, on my way throught the great Inside
Fell in love with the city, it was the end of my ride

    Wild Spirit, Wild Spirit, O Juneau, I sing of thee!
    Thy breath is the wind, thy home is the mountains and sea
    Thy soul is the people who choose to live here with love
    Wild Spirit, unfettered but by high sky above!

We have no railroad and there's just one double-lane
When you hear a 'semi', it's just a tiny floatplane
With guitars and fiddles we sing away our cares
Sweet music escaping into the tangy air

We're bankers and hippies and government workers here
We're fishers and teachers and pilots of water and air
And great artists and writers- we all make this our home
In the whistlingest, huggingest, happiest town I've known.

Wild Spirit, Wild Spirit, O Juneau, I sing of thee!
