Possibly but not western Oregon. More rain on that side of the Cascades as you near the coast.
Eugene, west of Cascades:
Like the rest of the
Willamette Valley, Eugene lies in the
Marine West Coast climate zone (
Koppen Cfb), with some
Mediterranean characteristics. Temperatures can vary from cool to warm, with warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Spring and fall are also moist seasons, with light rain falling for long periods. Winter snowfall does occur, but it is sporadic and rarely accumulates in large amounts: the average seasonal amount is 5 inches (12.7 cm), and the median is 0.[SUP]
[15][/SUP] The record snowfall was 3 ft deep due to a
pineapple express in late January 1969. Record snowfall for March was 8 inches deep in 2012.[SUP]
[16][/SUP] The hottest months are July and August, with average highs of around 82 °F (28 °C), with an average of 15 days per year above 90 °F (32.2 °C). The coolest month is December, with the average daytime high in the mid-40s°F (7–8 °C), and nights averaging just above freezing. There are 54 nights per year with a low below freezing, and about three days with highs not exceeding freezing.[SUP]
[15][/SUP] The record high low was 73 °F (23 °C) in 2006 and 71 °F (22 °C) in 2008.
Bend, east of Cascades:
Bend's climate is typical of the
high desert with cool nights and sunny days, classified as
semi-arid (
Köppen BSk). Annual precipitation averages 11.7 in (300 mm), with an annual average snowfall of 27.6 inches (70.1 cm).[SUP]
[17][/SUP] The winter season in Bend provides a mean temperature of 31.2 °F (−0.4 °C) in both December and January.[SUP]
[17][/SUP] Nighttime temperatures are not much lower than daytime highs during the winter. According to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, annually, the lowest nighttime temperature is typically -5 to -10 °F (-20.6 to -23.3 °C).[SUP]

Central Oregon summers are marked by their very large diurnal temperature ranges, with typical daily temperatures ranging from 46 to 81 °F (8 to 27 °C).[SUP]
[17][/SUP] Hard frosts are not unheard of during the summer months. Autumn usually brings warm, dry days and cooler nights, and Bend is known for its annual
Indian summer. According to the Western Regional Climate Center of the
Desert Research Institute, the mean of the monthly average maximum temperatures in July, the hottest month in Bend, between 1928 and 2006 was 82.1 °F (27.8 °C).[SUP]

The two are practically on the same longitude with only the Cascades between them.
Me, I'd be somewhere between San Luis Obispo and Oxnard. Between Del Mar and the Laguna Beach is also very nice but unfortunately way way more expensive compared to when I knew them in the 70's.
