Great Place for Families...But Still Looking for a

I am transient military and have lived in many cities around the world. OKC is a good place to live and has a great part of town with museums, a zoo, horse track, and other interesting places for kids. Of course there is the federal building memorial, a great downtown area called Bricktown, and many outdoor events around the city that are also great for kids. I do wish there were not as much winds throughout the year although this is great for people sailing lake Hefner.
I have two duty stations left before I transition to a civilian career and am still looking for the 'perfect' town. My wife and I are considering Colorado Springs, Seattle, Portland, Austin, and maybe northern California. We love the river that runs through Durango, CO, the quirkiness of Austin, TX, the mountains of Colorado Springs, the music venues of Seattle, and the scenery and 'greenness' of Portland, OR. Boulder is great but feels a little high class. Just looking for a great, healthy place to raise our kids in the western part of the country. If you have any advice on these places then please let me know! Thanks.
