Several reasons. The bodies are easier to bury in …. Oh wait. She’s talking about how if she stayed at the West Coast she would not have gotten married or had kids.
From Lynn’s Comments: I did miss the West Coast. I was very settled in Northern Ontario at the time, but it’s impossible to forget the ocean and the mountains of BC.
It still amazes me how just a whiff of a familiar smell will bring me back to a certain place or time of my life … and thankfully, it’s always a pleasant experience it reminds me of.
And here comes Mr. Picky: there are no cedar trees native to Vancouver, or all of North America for that matter. What they have is Thuja plicata, sometimes called Western redcedar.
Here in Arizona we have a lot of “cedar” trees that are actually junipers.
Elly does not want things her way, she wants to triumph when others do it her way. Elly triumphed over Edgar by making him stop scratching the door. Elly triumphed over John by making him sand and repaint the door, as well as keeping him quiet so far on the trip. Elly triumphed over Michael by making him get rid of the beard. Has Elly triumphed over Elizabeth?
Don’t they have occasional earthquakes and volcanoes along and near the west coast? Also, I think the gold may have run out, And then there are the fires.
I can relate to this. If I had never left Missouri I would never have had my daughter and she has given me the most precious grandkids. Of course if I had stayed, there’s no telling who or what would have happened there. The road not traveled.
Grew up on the west coast. State side. I miss it now that I am in the Midwest. But it’s not the same now. So many people. So much has been bulldozed for housing and shopping that it’s been ruined.

Doesn’t look quite right but can only think they’re at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver with the Lions Gate Bridge in the background.

And it seems that the west coast of Canada is spared the destructive wildfires that plague the west coast of the US.
