Stranded small towns in North America? Rains alot?

So i'm writing this book, and i need a place. The main character is moving there. There has to be a average, if kinda small amount of people, but extremely small,or large like San Francisco. Just a little less people than average. There has to be lots of rain, fog, and it has to be kind of far away from BIG civilization, because its kind of stranded. A forest would be food, too. :)
