Hey, I lived in Seattle for 20 years and loved it (despite having moved there from sunny Miami Florida).  Yes, The Californicating silicon valley Billy Gates clones/slaves/wannabbes moved there and drove the real eastate prices through the roof, and yes ther are officially 300 cloudy days per year (compared to Miami's 300 days of sunshine - but both city's have similar annual average rainfall amoints), but it's still one of the most beautiful environments to live in that I've ever seen. 

Email me and I'll give you my phone number.  Call, and I'll give you my opinions on the neatest places to go. 

You won't regret the opportinity to have experienced Seattle.
