If weather is very important to you then that should factor in to your decision. I, too, find Seattle very depressing. (In fact, I find the Portland weather very depressing!)

The person who suggested Oakland as an alternative means had a good idea. Rent is cheaper and it's warmer. SF has a lot more sunshiny days than Seattle but many of them are COLD sunny days.

I don't know about Washington, but property taxes in Oregon are a lot higher than California's. On the other, Calif and Wa have sales tax. So I think it all "evens out" one way or another.

SF has crackheads and Seattle has junkies. It's all the same. I love thre green of Seattle but and the bustle of SF.
