There are a lot of great suggestions here. I would second the following:
Flagstaff, AZ: level one trauma center - progressive politically - excellent varied climbing and Colorado is close.
Bend, OR: level two trauma center - such a cool place - have no idea what the politics are like. Have had a blast every time I have been in the area.
Just my .02
Cheers

This is the city. Los Angeles, California.... [various good stuff]... A few hours drive has you at the greatest range of mountains in the world.
The greatest range of mountains in the world is lurking just outside Los Angeles?
Uh... Maybe for someone who's never seen a real mountain...

Seattle has short and wet rock season, though lots of gyms. For winter, the skiing is good, the back country skiing is even better... What about Wenatchee, WA? Is that big enough? That has everything and is closer to more rock.... Boise is another gem.

You make it sound so nice! Indeed
I grew up in L.A. I interviewed for my residency in L.A.
My only memory I have of being back in L.A. was being on a 10-lane freeway at 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was stop-and-go traffic both ways - mostly stop - 10 lanes - as far as the eye could see.
And it only got worse during the day. I went to a grocery store and was stuck in the parking lot for 4 hours. The traffic in the adjacent 4-lane cross streets was grid locked and didn't move for 4 hours.
Nope, ain't doing that sh#t.

I can see Loma Linda UMC from my house.
There are two stop signs and two signals between me and Big Bear / San Gorgonio Wilderness.
I like it here.

thanks again everyone....!! The list is overwhelmingly long! So far if i remember correct, east of the Sierra, Bend OR, front range area, a few places in CA (but not LA, no offense but I really can't stand these big cities...), and northern NM! They all sound great and give me plenty of places to apply to, but ultimately it is not entirely up to me but where a residency program finds me a suitable candidate...

Hey, that's RJ Secor's opinion as well.

That's 'cause it is.
