So how's life in the Pacific Northwest? What are the pro's and cons?

Question

I know that you can't find a greener place anywhere than there; just imagine the green lands ranging from British Columbia to the Evergreen State of Washington, passing by the shiny green coastal line of Oregon till the Redwood Forests of Northern California! Wow!

Also this region must be the cleanest part of earth; both in the streets and buildings, and climatically. The weather is very moderate throughout the whole year, and the people are educated, religiously tolerant (even it has the highest percentages of atheists, agnostics, homo's, bi's, etc).

We must not forget the civillized people and their physical fitness too!

However, I never knew what this region actually lacks: Are the universities there that good? What about the restaurants and places of entertainment? Do people there wish moving to places like NYC, LA, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal? What is it that you miss and you can't find in the Pacific Northwest?

Thinking about moving there. I'm from So Cal.

RAIN! Thats pretty much the biggest flaw of living out here. Also there is: no snow, summers are either shytty, or very hot. So mostly weather... No seriously its a very good place to live. To answer your question more clearly, Its a very good place to live. Nothing really to say bad about it, good people, good schools, I mean nothing to complain about! The only difference from anywhere else is possibly, a different political view, (more liberal).Also very "pro-weed" :) lol, good luck
