Ok CMU is in Pittsburgh. Carnegie Melon so no different than Ivy distance wise - of course better for CS than Ivy in most peoples minds.
So I think schools like Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wash state, the two Oregons are great. Col School of Mines for smaller. Then maybe a USC as a flyer or you can look up Stanford, the Claremont Colleges like Harvey Mudd., you’ll need aid or a job, and maybe UC Merced, and there are some great Jesuit schools if not an issue from U a Seattle, Gonzaga, Portland, Santa Clara, Loyola Marymount, U San Diego.
Of course if the East Coast is too far then is CA ?
UW Bothell is another that comes up regularly as does WWU. And UBC was mentioned.
Figure out your geographic comfort and go from there. How far is too far ? Colorado too far ? Chicago ? Texas ? You mentioned it but what’s the difference of traveling to Texas as the East coast.
So figure out your max distance etc.
