If you're in search of the bastion of progressive liberalism, then you've found your mecca, that is of course unless you are REALLY an over the top socialist then you'll want to consider Portland.  If you're a Californica native, then please stay there, Californicans come here to escape Californica only to try their hardest to recreate what they left!  If you're from the East Coast, then there is no more land left for you to buy up and turn in to a vineyard.  If you're from the south, Eugreen already has it's share of homeless, Seattle's just a little further up I-5.  Tongue in cheek..... To a degree!
