Hi everyone,

I'm currently in NYC and researching a few cities that I'm considering relocating to: Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Chicago. I've spent most of my life on the east coast (born and raised in NYC, then spent 6 1/2 years in the DC area for grad school and work), though did have a brief 6-month stint in LA for work. Seattle appeals to me for a few reasons: job opportunities (I do interactive product marketing), lower cost of living vs. NY, urban environment with access to nature, beautiful scenery and outdoor activities, and more laidback atmosphere.

Anyway, I'm curious to hear from anyone who's relocated from NYC area (or other east coast cities), about whether you're happy with your decision to relocate. Was it a fairly easy transition? Does it rain as much as people seem to think? What do you like most/least about living there? Do you ever think about moving back east or do you feel like Seattle is home now?

Thanks in advance for your help!
