Looks like there's an annular eclipse visible across a good chunk of northern California in May 2012, so San Francisco ought to have a decent view of that one. And a total eclipse over Oregon in August 2017.

In 2106 there's a total eclipse pretty much right over San Francisco or perhaps San Jose (I'm not 100% sure of the geography of California).

Is that soon enough?

I'm just hoping for one close enough to North America to make it feasible to travel to. I'm in the Eastern US and like you it seems like we never get them. It looks like the 2017 one is the one I should aim for.

When the eclipse crosses the International Date Line, the local date becomes May 20. The eclipse then enters the California/Oregon border, passes in the late afternoon over Nevada, Utah, Arizona, a corner of Colorado, New Mexico, and ends at sunset in Texas. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent disk is just smaller than the Sun's disk and the Sun appears as a brilliant ring. This spectacular sight can only be safely observed with approved solar filters or by projecting an image of the eclipsed Sun onto a flat white surface.

Best answer:
Answer by Mark VHow the Sun was born and how it moves around the galaxy, what kind of influence it has on the Solar System (solar wind, electromagnetic radiation, gravity, if it defines where the Solar System ends...), how it is similar or different from other stars -- average against other types, what are the bad things that the Sun does that Earth has to naturally protect us against, what makes the Sun special for the possibility of other life in the galaxy/Universe (if there is anything).

How about that?
