The closest to what you're used to is probably gonna be far northern California, north of Redding, and on up into southern Oregon, not too far off the coast, maybe around Mt. Shasta and north almost to Washington (actually, on into Washington, depending on your politics - WA and CA are among our most liberal states. My buddy from Oslo preferred small gov't Texas because of his experience in Norway). Beautiful area with mountains, forests, water.
[edit: not trying to start anything, but the Norwegian who worked with me for a decade expressed a very strong feeling of personal relief with the change to Texas, and I thought that might be relevant to Rolf.]
Well put and I agree... do realize that virtually all of rural CA is very "Red State" (meaning a desire for small government and generally conservative views)... and it is the coastal and urban majorities in the state that force a more liberal agenda on them for better and worse.
Sorry to continue to contribute to the OT discussion, but many have a very distorted view if the Golden State and it seemed appropriate to mention.

Oregon is more conservative than you think, although semi-populated by disaffected Californians. Of the 3 COW states, Wash. has the more liberal laws ...IMHO
Don't think Oregon is the right place for Rolf (or anyone else) to immigrate to. Southern Oregon that you mention is REDNECK territory and very different from the population centers of Eugene, Portland. I had read than nearly half the population (before the southern invasion) had Germanic roots somewhere in their past.
Our population is decreasing, as many of "the uninvited" return home, due to lack of work. And it's too cold, and too wet, and too green, and too ...etc., etc.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
A lot of people would be surprised to learn that Texas shares some similarities to California in that regard. Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Austin as well as the Rio Grande Valley all vote blue. It's just that the urbanization hasn't progressed far enough to tip the statewide pattern.
