Thanks for reading. Some information about myself. I have a couple years to make this decision, just looking to get a head start. I'm looking for a place that is family friendly and has some good small towns within about 30-45 minutes to the actual city. I'm christian methodest, and go to church often. I love sports, college and professional. I'm looking to get a major in sports journalism or architecture, so if either place has a higher demand for either, that would be good to know. I love outdoors activities and beautiful scenery. I actually don't mind the rain that much, and humidity isn't too much of a problem. I don't like humidity, but I don't hate it and can live with it. My favorite time of the year is summer, specifically 4th of July. Based on this info, which of these two cities would you say is best for me? Thanks for reading, and thanks in advance for any answers.

I think for what you want, both Miami and Seattle would work. Do you like beaches and warm weather more months of the year?

Miami is very overbuilt right now, but I think Miami is a bigger sports town in general than Seattle.

Seattle is going nuts with MLS soccer right now and Miami loves their NBA and I think they are about to bust out a whole lot of MLB fans with the new ballpark.

So really it's close. I would go more for Seattle for the neighborhoods and suburbs they offer vs Miami. Suburban Miami is very bland as you get away from the coast while Seattle has a lot of dense, close in mixed use suburbs that I think you would enjoy.

Also, Seattle is in the Pacific NW. Close to British Columbia and Oregon and all that good stuff. Florida doesn't do as much for me personally.

Both towns are great and Miami is extremely overbuilt so you could pick up a home cheap there right now. But I'm thinking Seattle.

Haha, I'm sure that helped you out a lot!

At KC, it did, thank you. Im leaning towards Miami, but I've heard it's only for singles and you shouldn't move there if you're married with kids.
