Seattle would be a good choice. It's usually pretty temperate, but it does rain a lot. The city is very diverse, and there is a lot to do. It's clean, there are great places to eat, obviously great seafood, pikes place market is really fun, tons of outdoor activity all around the city such as lakes, mountains, ski resorts, etc. Seattle is a very very fun city.

Portland is like a smaller Seattle, but it's probably the most unique city in America. It's become the capital for all things weird and eclectic. Still has much of what Seattle has, but it's a little smaller. Has lots of little shops that sell obscure things, it's essentially the hipster capital of America. I like both cities for different reasons.

New York is another choice, unless you don't want a really big city. It's a hell of a lot of fun in New York, and the grandness of it all really leaves me in awe every time I visit. It has fantastic architecture, and really you could explore it for days and not get bored. New York is the center of the world, and if you want to live in the modern equivalent of Rome, then New York is the city for you. Not a lot of outdoors stuff aside from central park(which is great) and it is expensive.

Those are some of my suggestions.
