Seattle is like a mini SF that is high tech wannabe when Amazon and Microsoft are the only major high tech companies in town. Seattle can't never carry SF jockstrap, never ever.
Huge difference between SF and Seattle: SF is a true world class city, and Seattle is totally not. SF is cosmopolitan and so international while Seattle lacks diversity and international appeal. SF is a world cosmopolitan international city. Seattle is mainly a regional city.
Calisonn and The topper are probably the same person trying to troll everyone on here.
I've spent significant time in both cities. Both cities are very, very similar with SF being bigger, denser, and dirtier.
I prefer Seattle but I have love for SF too.
SF, bigger than Seattle? No way! You're talking about SF, the city; not SF, the region, as some people do? SF is squeezed onto a tiny peninsula. Seattle is a long, string-bean of a city covering at least 3 times the area of SF.
No way San Fran beats Seattle in Cuisine. Yeah there is a lot of variety but the freshness of the food here, the seafood, and the affordability of the food is what makes Seattle such a good food scene. In San Francisco every decent meal cost me 25% more than in Seattle for the same quality.
WHAT?! What cuisine does Seattle even have? I'd like to know. SF has been known for good, fresh seafood for generations, btw. You can't get the kind of fine dining in Sea. that you can in SF. No way, no how.

Well you have the shapes right. Seattle is just a bit less than 2x the land area of SF (83 sqm vs 46)
Seattle is a world class city, this really isn't a question. There's a lot of delusion on full display here.
Seattle should definitely be given more credit in this thread, but I wouldn't call it "World Class" yet. There are a few larger US cities I personally wouldn't classify as World Class either.
I think you have to go "national class", then "continental class", then "hemisphere class" before you can go "world class". I mean, Seattle is only at continental class. San Fran is probably somewhere around hemisphere class. For example, people may know about SF in Italy, but they just don't respect it enough to get that "world class" taste in their bocche.
