Tough to say. There is the issue of the massive predicted earthquake that's supposed to devastate most of the Pacific edge of California and Oregon.

Here, this might help you decide.

If you strive for immortality you should consider that in 20 million years California will sink into the ocean.

Thank you very much, that's exactly what I was looking for. Isn't it odd that you had it onhand? =3

As long as it doesn't happen while I'm living there, I don't care too greatly.

Behind you, kicking you in the ass
I would think Seattle is slightly safer but San Diego is much nicer in terms of climate. Unless of course you like the weather changes in which case Seattle wins.

In terms of natural disasters, this Slate article from 2005 indicates that the Northeastern states of Conn. Mass. and R.I. are safer.

If any of you are curious.
