I would choose Portland if you don't mind rain

I've heard that Birmingham is wonderful. The cost of living is low, crime rate is not very high and the weather is wonderful.

Personally, I would choose Seattle out of those choices ... I love Portland and the area, but I think that Seattle would have more to offer for a new small business. You would want to research which areas of the city/suburbs were best for kids/schools. I am only familiar with the western cities you listed.As far as the california cities ... I like visiting, but, well, having had adult children living in both, just prefer the northwest. Nevada has many of the same downfalls as California.
