What's your line of work? I find it hilarious when people throw out cities without knowing information like this. You might be in industry X but city N doesn't have a good scene for it. I think knowing this will help people give you a better suggestion.

A better move would be Houston or Dallas from KC. I think culturally they have more in common with KC than Atlanta and Seattle does.

Though i know a lot of people who get great starts in Atlanta. i wouldn't go to Seattle unless you had a damn good job already.
I am renting a one-bedroom condo with a garage within a 5 minute drive from downtown Bellevue for $1200. Seattle area is quite expensive, but you're exaggerating. I used to rent a room last year in a GREAT house close to Main and 112th for $700 and thought that was expensive. I don't think $1200 for a room is something many people in Bellevue would consider reasonable.

I'm just going to throw this out there, because it is an insanely underrated city you probably wouldn't think of:

Albany, NY

Although, I am more focused on the weather,low crime and job aspects more than it being liberal.

I'm guessing some details about me would help?
* Alternative
* Frugal
* Easy Going
* Frugal
* Anti-Gangster/Moron

What are some states/cities that you can advise for me?
Here is a darkhorse for you...Louisville. Everything you need and none of what you do not need, and it will be cheaper than anywhere you are looking.

I love the Seattle are myself. My fiance and I are trying to relocate back there from Las Vegas, Nevada. Yes the Seattle area is a little more expensive the the Vegas Valley but it's so worth it. I am so willing to pay a slightly higher rent to be in such a beautiful part of our country. I rented an apartment on the border of South Bellevue and Renton for just over $800 a month. So you can find some deal if you look hard.
