Seattle, Portland, Denver or Minneapolis
Which is your favorite of the four? Furthermore, if you had a choice, which of these cities would you most like to live in?

I would rather visit Seattle but live in Denver. Only because I hear they have a lot of sunshine in Denver.

I listed Denver, actually I think the twin cities are nice also just way to cold.

Definitely Seattle and Portland. It would be tough to choose, but I chose Seattle.

You only live once...why not try for the most cosmopolitian?
Um...if that's your cup of tea.

I'm Biased (Live in Seattle), but Seattle's my top choice, followed by Portland.

I've always thought that Seattle, Denver, and Minneapolis were in the same league with each other. One thing I've observed on these forums though: people from Seattle tend to hate Denver. I'm not sure why though. I voted for Denver, my hometown.

Seattle or Minneapolis
Denver's okay, but I've already lived there.
Despite all the great things people say about it, I've heard Portland is actually pretty provincial. That doesn't appeal.

The Denver metro is nice. It's a good family place, but it also has younger college-oriented areas. Very outdoorsy, but not as overwhelmingly liberal. The mountains are beautiful, and the weather is relatively moderate (average of 40s in the winter, 80s in the summer...no humidity, plenty of sun).
Seattle is probably the most cosmopolitan choice. It has a reputation for being very intellectual/artsy. Very vocally liberal. Frequent cloudiness and dreariness, but otherwise mild weather.
Portland is like a mini-Seattle...same weather, smaller, cheaper, and with slightly better public transportation. I'd also wager to say that it's less "intellectual/artsy" and more "crunchy/hippie"...that's just the vibe I get.
Minneapolis is a fun metro with lots to do, another good family place, but I'd never want to live there. Being a native midwesterner, I've had family members move all over the midwestern region for work. My relatives who moved to the Twin Cities didn't like it...they said it was hard to break into social circles, because although people there are polite, they also tend to flock towards other natives (they're a bit...unintentionally exclusive). Plus, the winters can be a pain in the butt (negative weather with a TON of snow).
All in all, I'd choose Denver or Seattle.
