We both grew up in So Cal (spent a lot of my misguided youth on the beaches) and was transferred to Seattle for a few years, then back to So Cal. They asked me to move out here in '01. It was more difficult for the wife. It's changed a lot, but when we first moved here, if you weren't part of the demographic, you were somewhat ostracized. It was actually a great place to raise our son though. You have to go looking for trouble. It's there, but you have to look for it. College was cheap comparatively. We paid $5000 a year at the University of Utah. They have a lot of great programs there. We paid more to send him to private high school!!
