San Francisco, Seattle, Pittsburgh, and Duluth are the first ones that I think of. Maybe LA also.
This picture was taken of the Duluth harbor on the middle of one the city's hills.

Seattle Hills, not as dense as SF but a VERY hilly city nonetheless.

Great photos! That one downtown makes one thankful they are NOT as bad as they are in San Francisco, with the Russian Hill neighborhood there having some that seem like 45 degree drops.

Incidentally, the term "skid row" has its roots in Seattle, because they used to slide logs down the streets to the waterfront to be shipped or whatever they did with them.

For me, Los Angeles. I love the way the ribbon of freeways cuts through the canyons and the passes, sometimes offering "now you see it, now you don't" views of the downtown and "edge city" skylines.

This is the most common feature as to why Pittsburgh is said to be the most PNW-like city in the East.
