I like both cities but don't know if I could deal with the constant overcast in Seattle. I always hear stories of people that thought they could hack it and completely fold after their first dark winter in the PNW. Other than weather Seattle checks all the boxes of what I want out of a city.

Maybe you can wait for global warming to take its toll. That way, the California drought can run up the West Coast, and make Seattle sunnier.

I’m happy about the weather in Seattle. If it weren’t for the rain, Seattle would basically be like California. And nobody wants that and everything that comes with it.
Texas is the best state in the entire country. There isn't even a competition.
Don't make me regret my vote for Dallas.
I voted Dallas because I can't deal with the PNW. The weather, the people, the vibe, etc. Everything. I wouldn't be running to Dallas, but it's more affordable if I'm not going to love either, I could much more easily afford a nice apartment/condo in the most central/fun location. The weather is better. The people aren't the cold, introverted PNW people.
I still hate Texas politics, it's still hot in summer and tornadoes terrify me, traffic isn't great in either one, and Dallas is still quite a suburban city. But I still would live there over Seattle.
Few years ago I asked one community if I need take job offer in Seattle or Dallas. Everyone were ****ing Seattle and said I need to take offer in Dallas. I was living in Dallas for 3 years and I hate this place soooooo much. Too hot. Nothing here. Just nothing. No hiking, no rivers, no natural lakes, no forest, no mountains. I was unable make many friend because no outdoorsy people here and no outdoor activities. I tried my best and visited ALL possible places like 1000 times (I go outdoor each weekend) but there is soooo little choices. Most people that I met here spend their time drinking or on backyard their big ass house. I finally found some people and we visited Big Bend national park 4 times but it is too small and it is 9 hours drive in one direction through the most boring places on earth.

Then you should move. Next time do better research and don't hold so much value in other people's opinion of places and trust your own intuition instead.
