Two things to think through.
An inland western US location can be useful to compare against Los Angeles, San Jose and Seattle. Begin with the audience and dependencies rather than treating a less familiar city as an automatic disadvantage. Real network routes are more useful than a distance estimate alone.
A location choice also affects the people operating the service. Record the expected support window, maintenance process and route for authorised physical tasks if hardware is involved. Geographic separation is valuable only when the team can still maintain and recover the environment.

Distances are straight-line between city centres. The minimum round trip assumes light in fibre at about 200,000 km a second and a straight cable. Real routes are longer, so always test from your own audience. For a second site that survives a regional outage, Dublin is about 7,370 km from Utah.
A nearby server is only one part of your application.
Compare the route from the audience networks you expect to serve. Test real requests, not only a location label.
Count remote APIs, databases, sign-in providers and backup destinations when you plan.
Write down how data is restored and who can do it. A copy in another location only helps if you can recover from it.
