Which would you choose, and why?
We're a family with school-aged kids.

Seattle.
Not as Califorifucked as California, fewer Mexicans, but a nice city, plenty of shit to do outside in the PacNW. Smart people, liberal, but it's not fucking California.

Seattle. Are you suburban people or city people? If suburb types looking in Kirkland, Bothell or Bellevue may be your speed. Lots of stuff to do. San Diego has gone to shit but better weather.

San Diego hands down.
Unless you like punk rock shows.

Could go either way, I guess. Like a safe neighborhood for the kiddies, but love having quick access to everything and being able to walk to stuff or bike around. City-residential is probably ideal, if that makes sense.

Where are you moving from? Can you handle grey, rainy weather for a few months a year?

Live in San Diego now. Have an opportunity in Seattle.
I love lots of rain (lived in England and the dreariness was actually heaven to me), but my spouse is not into rain at all.

More of those in the Seattle side but also on the east side as well. Depends where you have to commute to. Do you know where your office is located?

If the spouse isn't happy then that's a deal breaker. Good luck. I live in the Seattle area and wouldn't move to San Diego. On the flip side today was the first day I took my convertible out all year so its a trade of.

Honestly too many Mexicans, hard core conservatives and old school Californians who bitch about taxes and how everything is now fucked up. The long term whites never shut up about how shitty it is now. Like everywhere, if you have a pile of money its great but in the upper middle or middle its not great.
I come to San Diego for business a few times a year but like visiting and then leaving. Its beautiful and the weather is second to none.

I live in Seattle and would move to the bay area. Cost of living and state income tax takes a big bite so would have to be the right opportunity.

As much as I hate Seattle's soggy weather, I would choose Seattle, simply because it's not in the People's Republic of California. California has too many oppressive laws.

For schools/reasonable neighborhoods, I am a fan of the town of Issaquah.
But traffic in Seattle is a living hell and getting worse. You need to live very close to where you work for your own sanity's sake.
Stay out of Seattle proper, unless you can afford private schools. The public schools in Seattle city limits are utter shit.
