Mountains = less space for housing = higher demand for housing = higher col

And they've got a lot of bodies of water, which has the same effect.

Everett WA = Marietta / Smyrna GA. Bellevue WA = Lenox / Buckhead || Both cities are lushly forested where as neither has an advantage over the other )

Another fun fact - Atlanta and Seattle have the exact same amount of letters that make up their name.
Without Seattle, we'd never have MARTA. Thanks Seattle.

Just got back from there myself. Ironically, Seattle is entering its' dry season, when lawns begin to turn brown. It was 91 degrees on the day we left. Atlanta is actually a much greener place in the summer.

It's like a New York City and Los Angeles type of relationship, or Tokyo and London.

Having lived through our multitude of droughts - I never complain when we go through a rainy season
That's funny, because I feel the exact opposite.

I brush off the droughts and never worry about them because I know floods are always right around the corner.
