LOL. By "enjoy" you must mean balancing a steady diet of coke and hookers and living in a nice part of town. I know plenty of people who live in NYC and Seattle on way less than $150k.

You say that like there is something wrong with a steady diet of coke and hookers. I assumed that as an option to transfer, he had some sense of decent things in life. Sure he could make less and live in a meth house on Aurora or the Freemont district.

Your imagination of different lifestyle options is blowing me away, man. BTW, you better be getting more that "decent" with that kind of cheese.
I've spent a bit of time in Seattle. If you like the Urban scene then, of course, you'll be disappointed if you've been in NYC. If you want to slow down a bit and have access to some pretty awesome nature, then you won't be disappointed.
Everything. My favorite city in the US.
You have the ocean, the mountains, an interesting city, Pike Market and other venues for fresh seafood/produce/etc., and a ton of geographic wonders shot distances away.
This is the way I feel about the Bay Area too. I have no idea how most people can afford to live in these cities.

You've obviously never been to Flint, Michigan or Gary, Indiana.
I'd guess no one has gotten a job offer in Flint, Michigan or Gary, Indiana in the last 10 years, either.

Hell, you could live on Queen Anne for less than 150k. That said, the QA hookers would require that you earn in the neighborhood of 200k. Or so I've been told.
Capitol Hill, if you were single or married without kids, would be my place of choice, however.

Of course it is. Seattle does that wonderful balancing act between being a big city and not feeling big perfectly - that's what I like about it. If Provo wasn't the best city in North America, I would move to Seattle.
Then again, New York is a total dump to me outside of some of the tourist sites. After growing up in a city that is twice as big as New York and has 100 X the charm, I just take that place seriously.

I went to Seattle for the MLS Cup, and absolutely loved the city. If I had to a pick a US city to live in, it would be top 3.

It depends on what you consider sucky weather. If you like bitter cold winters and scorching hot summers like SLC, Seattle isn't the place for you - the winters and summers are mild, but it rains a lot. It basically comes down to how you feel about precipitation. Because if you don't mind the rain, the weather is great.

I love rain showers. Especially when the sun is poking out from the clouds. Creates a golden hue in the rain. Nothing like golden rain showers. Love it.
*edit* I forgot to mention I saw R. Kelly on my trip too. Pretty cool guy.

Utah winters rock because of the great skiing, summers are great because of the dry heat and access to lakes. So the weather here is perfect for great outdoor fun. I love the outdoors and rain doesnt help the enjoyment of them.
