Out of curiosity...Is the Pacific Northwest a creative paradise for thinkers, scientists, artists and etc?
I'm noticing there are a lot of institutions, hubs and companies in that part of America where there seems to be conglomerates of so much creativity with a focus on ideas and innovation.
It seems the subculture of that region places an emphasis on innovation, from what I see. Especially the major metros (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver B.C.)
What are your thoughts and opinions on this? I'm heavily researching into the area for a move.
Maine, oddly enough, is very underrated in these regards. Lots of universities up there, especially devoted to marine studies. Then a huge amount of artist colonies, a robust music scene for its size as well. How it stacks up to larger competition is another story but of itself, a great place.
I'd venture central CA is up there in "creativity".
Oh, i disagree. I think that there are certainly places that are more supportive to the creative, the free thinking, the future oriented, etc. and the west coast is that (speaking generally) and parts of the northwest (Seattle and Portland are two obvious places) are similarly so.

I'd wager that East Asia is the best on the planet for this. In the US, the West Coast is strong for this, as is parts of the Northeast; the South is a hugely emerging region for this as well.

Whereabouts in the South, if you don't mind me asking?
