What are some things to know before moving to the Seattle area?

There is a reason the official start of summer here is July 4th. Until that date, the weather can still be rainy.

June is not terribly rainy, but it does tend to be overcast, or as they say in California, "The June Gloom", a feature up and down the west coast.

"Seattlewomenaretherworst", you wouldn't happen to be a fan of that Roosh V guy, would you? lol!
I'm not from Seattle. In fact, as some have seen, I'm considering it as a choice for a move. But a couple of things I've noticed.
- Summer seems to start mid July and end mid october. As someone said "like clockwork" (on both ends).
- After reading these various forums, the women complaining about dating, and the guys saying "all women here suck" etc., appears to be in every single city. I've asked before, which city is best for women to meet a nice guy, but apparently, it's exactly the same in every big city ("Dating here is awful!"). Same with answers about traffic as well.
So my answer of what to expect (speaking as a frequent visitor): later summers and lots of hills. Other than that, it's the same as anywhere else.

Is it really that bad, thats probably why seattle has a reputation for introverted people.

Do you think seattle is worth it for a good job offer?

It can be bad, depending on what your needs are. I, personally don't mind cloudy weather, as it is kind of like a nice warm blanket. However, some on sites like this tend to exaggerate the gloom. Even in winter, Seattle breaks out into brilliant sunshine (albeit usually combined with colder temps), but it is worth it to see snow-capped mountains to the west and east, and of course Mt. Rainier to the Southeast, with sparkling blue waters surrounding the city.

The women are feminist when convenient, and "conservative" when convenient (when it benefits them). They have standards which explain why then end up fifty and alone. They blame the men even though they statistically have more choice than in any other city in the country.

The women want to have their cake and eat it too. They see no irony in their demands for equality while expecting chivalry and male gender roles. Gender roles are bad, except when they convenience women. Then men are required to keep with tradition and it is a moral fault of the men for not "doing their duty." The women aren't very good people. If you ever wanted to see what "equality" is like in practice, it's not very equal.

Ooh, I'm cut to the quick. In fact, I think I feel a little prick there. Ooh, ouchie!

I'm originally from NY and also am proud to be a Seattle woman. Your post reads like sour grapes. BWAHAHAHA!

You're proving the point. Enjoy your antidepressant and xanax cocktail at 50 with your pets.

Nah. I pretty much have the same thoughts you probably would if you were to see a posted wholesale condemnation of all males in a given city. (Or was that King County, too?)
