Is there a way to create a region specific website?
One that the search engines rank higher in that area. Such as a website specifically for california residents that would rank higher in california, rather than worldwide.

When you submit your site to Google and join the Webmaster tools you have the opportunity to tell Google search your preferences for the country but not for the state
You can also use code on your web pages to tell the search engines
<meta name="language" content="en"> Only use for sites other than US
<meta name="country" content="US">
But then again it is not state specific, search engine rank is not define by state but with the appropriate use of keywords you will be able to get a higher ranking in California than the rest of the world if someone is searching for a local website
Also use the local pages Yahoo/Google/Bing and Local Yellow pages, their traffic is not negiable
