Seattle, hands down.

And I say this as a Boston native.

Does Seattle have better outdoor recreation?

It's a common perception that the West, in general, has better outdoor recreation, but is it geography or culture?

Boston has ferries to Cape Cod; New Hampshire and Maine are not that far away.

I would say so...yeah...
Seattle is in the gambit for best in North America... is Boston?

But you are right, it is a common perception, certainly not a misperception in my mind.

two great cities

one thing that gets overlooked with Seattle is how new so much of it is, unlike SF or Boston where you pay big $ for a creaky old apt, you can find new places throughout Queen Anne, Fremont, Ballard, Capitol Hill, and other cool Seattle neighborhoods

I've lived in Massachusetts and visited Seattle. I'd go with Seattle. Only problem I can think of in Seattle is all the gray days. But I guess that's the trade-off because Seattle doesn't have as much snow as Boston.
