Seattle! Our very own, Bill Gates chose Seattle when he could have lived anywhere, of course, Seattle takes home the gold.

Seattle wins. In fact, Seattle wins the West Coast for me. San Francisco has its density for sure, but the skyline doesn't do much for me. Kind of bland. Especially considering Seattle is a smaller city - this doesn't even show the whole skyline, and no Mt. Rainier to skew opinions....

Outside of NYC and Chicago, few cities in this country impress me more.

Does Bill gates live in Seattle because of its skyline? Some arguments can get really funny.

Yah, who knows? Bill grew up in Seattle, his parents live there, and his business is there. Kind of hard to just up and move one of the world's biggest companies...however, he COULD have saved the Sonics...kidding of course.

Bill lives in Medina - his father's law firm is still in Seattle from what I understand.

I was unaware of this...hmmm...well, I suppose I just prefer Seattle, but San Fran. would in no way be an unpleasant place to live.

Both are really nice cities but Seattle skyline is much better.

This is probably the most even skyline in the world and the hardest to decide, but I have to say SF, it is just so beautiful, just barely better than SF's.
