Hopefully, you live far enough out of the city and don't have to commute for work. The traffic in Seattle is horrendous.
Who are you telling. I live about 17 miles south from my job in South Seattle and it usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
I still love Seattle for it's beauty and what it has to offer, but it's ruined otherwise. Too much traffic, too expensive and the people that used to actually be hip, cool and down to earth are mostly self-righteous douche bags now. Seattle has literally become a parody of itself. A damn shame.
Portland is till better, but it's catching up fast. My wife wants to move back down to Oregon. I'm thinking Salem, Corvallis or Eugene or someplace thereabouts. I'd have to be able to get a decent paying job though.
