Hi Bryan,
You didn't say at what level you are, so I am guessing. If you are entry level, companies will rarely bring MS or BS level candidates to their locale, or even look at their resumes. However, if you are a PhD, you have a chance that the company will look at your CV and may just invite you for an interview in that distant city if you are a fit for the company's science.
Personally, I'd find a friend or relative with an address in that city and use that address at the top of my CV for correspondence with co's in that region. Don't lie and tell them that you live there when they call, just indicate that you are willing to pay for travel and that you plan to live in that city soon. Once they are interested in you, you can always get them to pay for some of that relocation when you negotiate your salary package.
