Well, I've been to both also, and while Cincy has great architecture and history, Seattle pretty much kills in every other category. I also didn't find the people pretentious at all, but then again that's pretty low on the list of attributes for a city. They're friendly as hell in Knoxville, but I'd hate to ever spend a weekend there again in life.
Have also been to both, for similar durations of time, which is to say a short period of time. There is nothing about Seattle that stood out as being vastly superior to Cincinnati, and that includes scenery. \.
That's absurd. Seattle's location wedged between Lake WA and The Puget Sound and bounded by The Olympic Mountain range to the west and the Cascades to the east is nothing short of spectacular. There are 3 national parks within 60 miles in 3 directions. To suggest Cincy's scenery is better is completely laughable.

Pictures of giant mountains overlooking cities as above makes me think of clouds, and basically represents a giant wall that encloses the city. Not a big selling point for me, and as one who lived in the Japanese Alps for a stint, the beauty of such a scene wears off quickly, I doub those in Seattle spend much time either looking at or thinking how lucky they are cause of those mountains.
Cincinnati is still more on the launch pad.....energy flowing n from all directions....

You may not think much of mountains, however as a native of Seattle I can assure you that most residents of Seattle don't share your opinion.

I lived in the Colorado Rockies for a few years. I was wowed at first, and the longer I spent there the less the scenery impressed me. It becomes mundane after a while.
I am pretty sure the poster actually meant the scenery IN THE CITY not away, and hills we have hills downtown cincinnati too.
