Thinking of moving to Seattle Area from Central Cali in future..... (unemployment, university)

Hello there, ive been reading this website and been learning very valuable information about cities, profiles, etc. And i have been browsin this specific board to kind of get a vibe of how things are in this area. But anyway, a bit about myself, im a 25 yr old unemployed at the moment college student at a state university and im going back to finish my bachelors degree (im studying business administration with a focus in Information systems).

I have been wanting to leave the fresno area for quite some time as this area does not fit my lifestyle nor does it fit my job skills. Theres no work here at all in this area, especially IT, and the work that is available is low paying jobs. This is an uneducated farm community of california for the most part, so i am considering leaving the area after i finish my studies. I also plan on finishing up my certs, an get all my IT certs i need as well. I have good IT experience already under my belt. Anyway, i like the laid back attitude an the more "left" leaning politics of this area as compared to where im at now. Anyways, id like to hear some suggestions on some places, i have been researching bellevue, kirkland, redmond area as these areas seem to cater best to my likings (Im a sucker for contemporary architecture)

crap theres no way to edit my post, but anyway, if i should be looking at other areas b4 looking here, im more than open to suggestions, IMO the bay area and Socal areas r too expensive, and unemployment is way too high there and the congestion is 10x worse than seattle.
