Seattle is good all around with a few noted exceptions. It rains a bit too
much for my personal tastes although we usually get at least 3 months of
summer weather. Housing is expensive if you want to live in the more
desirable areas (bought my first home a year ago and it's already
appreciated over 25%). Job market is good. Has more overall to offer than
Portland does, except Portland will have more sun. Lots of high tech
companies here. Good schools if you have kids.
