The winters are very mild, and the summers are hotter than you'd think. I was wondering, do you think these cities could be lumped in with the Sunbelt in terms of being places people would move to escape the cold, or are they overall too chilly year round?
Not frozen does not equal sunny/warm. You can escape some snow, on the west side of WA and OR, but not the cold. At least for me, I'd prefer sunny and 25 than drizzling and 45.
40-50 in the winter even if its rainy isn't bad, thats rather mild so I wouldn't way warm weather but mild winters and climate, from what i heard it doesn't get hot and humid ever in the Pac NW but i never been their just what i have heard
Generally, it is mild and sunny in those NW cities during the summer and cool to cold and wet (mainly in the form of drizzle) in the winter. Warm being 65-85 and cool to cold being 30-55.
Are they both warm weather cities? Absolutely NOT.
Are they both cold weather cities? Absolutely NOT.
And "The East" is not always cold in The Winter. It is the same temperature in Wilmington, NC, which is pretty much the middle of the East Coast and Seattle right now-48. Hell even Philly has a high in the mid-40's today. It is in the 80's in Florida.

Lived in Seattle for a little bit before moving to NC... I loved the vibe but the weather... too cold for me. So no, I don't think they're "warm" cities in any sense lol.
