I noticed that there are quite a few former Seattle-ites on this board and I'd love to know how you would compare the two cities - why you moved and how you like it.

My husband and I are looking to relocate from NY. We're considering both Austin and Seattle (those cities because of the job market - my husband is a lawywer and does a lot of work with technology companies). We've got a one year old son and because of the commute and my husband's hours, he rarely gets to see him during the week. We really want to move somewhere with a better cost of living and more family friendly lifestyle.

Austin was our primary target but then he was aggressively courted by one of his major clients who is head quartered in Bellevue, Washington. My main concern about the Seattle area is the weather and being able to meet people. I'd appreciate any advice or comments you might have and I'd love to hear about your experiences with the two cities.
