I moved from MN to southern Oregon, (Ashland- which I guess is the setting for Coraline the movie, but not the book. I liked the book much more)
It was about 2000 miles with a 2 cats and a dog, and no children. fit the whole house in 26 foot Uhaul. It was about a year long planning process, and we were fortunate enough to find jobs here. We moved out of the midwest for a couple of reasons:
1) the weather (too cold in the winter, limiting outdoor activities, no ocean or mountains)
2) we (my wife and I) were up for something new, a challenge. I never planned on living my whole life 200 miles or less from where I grew up. we have vacationed out here 7 of the past 8 years (pacific northwest) and we had fallen in love with the area, it was a no-brainer, but a long shot.
3) west coast laid back/smoke friendly/like-minded people i guess
we have been here 3 weeks and I feel at home, no regrets
