Denver, Colorado vs Seattle, Washington.

Which is the better one to live in in terms of :
Job opportunity
Cost of living + Affordability
Night Life
Hobbies/Activities
Culture
Crime Rate

Or if you can think of another place that dominates these two candidates in these areas please let me know.

Seattle's cost of living may be higher but it is worth it for everything else.

There was another poll on these two cities not too long ago. Try searching.

Anyway, I'd say that Seattle wins for night life, culture, and job opportunities (but only by a slight margin for the latter). Denver wins for cost of living. Both have lots of outdoor activities and low crime.

The one advantage Denver would have for someone moving from the East is that it is much closer. From where I'm at in Kentucky, Denver is an easy 2 day drive (17 hours) while Seattle is a 3 or 4 day trip (35 hours)

I had my mind made up going to Denver but now Im not so sure. Maybe Seattle is the best pick.

Though I voted for Seattle, I can't believe Denver didn't get a single vote. Seattle is hot on this forum these days.
