"'The answer is the Pacific Northwest, and probably especially west of the Cascades,' said Ben Strauss, vice president for climate impacts and director of the program on sea level rise at Climate Central, a research collaboration of scientists and journalists. 'Actually, the strip of coastal land running from Canada down to the Bay Area is probably the best,' he added. 'You see a lot less extreme heat; it's the one place in the West where there's no real expectation of major water stress, and while sea level will rise there as everywhere, the land rises steeply out of the ocean, so it's a relatively small factor.'"
