I and my girl have been thinking about living in Seattle for a while and now contemplating our choices between Seattle and Bay area but leaning towards Seattle, what do you think about this?
Pros:
- Great job opportunities in IT (for myself)
- I love outdoors -- hiking, biking and snowboarding (The legendary Mt Baker and Whistler)
- I don't really mind overcast sky, we like cool temperature.
- I love books and coffee.
- I am really into photography -- heard that Seatte area in summer is like heaven.
- Close to Vancouver and Portland -- another two great cities.
Cons:
- Traffic is bad (but I really wonder will it be worse than the beltway in DC area?)
- Housing is expensive (again, I don't think it beat DC area just yet)
- Mostly overcast sky (although I don't think it will bother me that much but I just don't know yet..)
- What about job in accounting field (for my girl)?
really like SF Bay area too, but way too pricey
