Ya that is very true Idol. Even out here where it rains a good bit people really appreciate those nice months in the summer when the sun is out, while others in somewhere like San Diego just remember those few crappy days when its raining or bellow 60 degrees lol. San Diego is just one of those areas that if you live by the water you really dont ever experience days that are to hot or to cold, it really is near perfect weather.

Summers are actually fairly nice in upstate ny asside from those few weeks of really hot and muggy weather without AC. Winters are a different story when you have to wake up a few hours early to shovel a few feet of snow; I was to stubborn/cheap to go out and get a snow blower or plow so I just did it with a shovel lol.

From what I have heard recently Seattle is up and coming and now one of the worst places, so just our luck.[...]But I will trade that traffic to be closer to the coast and be near more things to do .

If I find Seattle is wrecked next time I go on vacation, I'm blaming you.
I've generally liked the Seattle "attitude" and people, too. It is a trade-off, but here, my house has a view and our house payment is $200 less than the rent you'll be paying on that studio. I only say this because I'm jealous that you get to live where I like to vacation.

Ya ill take the blame for that one. From what I have seen every time I visit seattle traffic isnt really that awful except right at rush hour and either going to or coming from the suburbs so as long as you stay in the city your golden. I think all traffic stuff is relative and probably anyone that has to commute to a big city for work prob feels that theirs is the worst.

I hope the job thing goes through tho, btw have you been to portland? if so how do you think it compares to Seattle?

I have a friend who moved from here to Portland, and he loves it there. For us, Portland has mainly been just a city to pass through to get to the Oregon coast. Now that is tops on my list. Finding work on the coast, ummm, not so likely...

As for a Portland/Seattle comparison, I think Seattle wins. That is, unless you find your niche there. I think personalities are a bit different, and I have heard (from a couple of friends) that the bar food is EXCELLENT there. They have a major culinary school that cranks out more chefs than the area can properly employ, so a lot of them end up working in those bars instead of upper-end restaurants. That would be worth exploring, IMO. Portland is also a nice, clean place as well. I would not rule it out for any reason, but my bias after living/loving the Seattle area keeps me in favor of it.

If you and your wife have good jobs, I think either would be pretty enjoyable. Being broke sucks in a big city- I had enough experience with that to make me cautious of packing up and moving my family. We are reasonably comfortable where we are and Spokane is picking up some momentum (finally).

ty for the feedback mega... Ya we are leaning towards Seattle just because of the coast but it does really just matter where she gets a good job so we are not living broke again lol. At least both of those options are green friendly

Butterfly effect, innit.
mbm would have fallen into line had you set down a marker. That's how she operates.

It's almost as if you want new people to talk to or something else.
