Where to move in Norcal/Bay Area?

Hi! I live in West LA but am wanting to move to northern California or just away from LA. I love love hiking and anything outdoors. I just like to be in nature. I love animals, ranches, horses, wildlife. LA kinda lacks in all of this. The hikes suck here imo, I'm looking for hikes or nature that is extremely beautiful such as the nature in Washington, Oregon, Eureka, Shasta County, Mammoth Lakes, Yosemite etc. The only issue is I'm not interested in living somewhere conservative. Doesn't have to be super liberal, but I'd moving with my gf and I'm a lesbian, and I'm also Middle Eastern and she's Hispanic. We're both 22. Also don't want it to be insanely secluded. I don't really care about nightlife, but would like grocery stores like Trader Joes within 30-45 mins. A movie theater would be nice too. A hospital nearby. I don't love big cities, more of a town person or much smaller city person. I do love food and cool cafes/restaurants but if it's a bit of a drive away that's fine. Of course a safe area too.
