Pro: Better Weather Cons: High Col. More taxes. Costlier Houses. So people who moved, are you okay with trading the Seattle/Bellevue life for good weather? do you think you want to move back for long term/settle or gonna stay in Cali for long term? With enough good companies in Seattle, I don't see career progression as a issue in both the areas.
Fuck bay area. Overrated crap
I moved from Bellevue/Seattle to Bay Area and moved back after 20 months. IMHO, not a good move for family with kids
Why is that? Cost of single family homes? Worse schools?
Cost of living in a neighborhood with reasonable commute and good schools is too high for me.
Also big Bay Area con - and it is related to col and housing prices, but worth mentioning on its own - super high population density. Just too many people and not enough space. I haven't lived in Seattle, though, so cannot compare.
Yeah...
SF weather isn’t better than Seattle. Median high in July in the city is 64. If you are talking South Bay, there is a dearth or anything cultural to do. Don’t forget the shittier services for that extra tens of thousands of dollars you spend in taxes.
Man this poll has been pretty useless... Almost equal votes. Darn!! 😂😂
Escape from the hype of these two areas and your life will be chill
Now it’s equal
How about people who moved to the Bay Area from Seattle and now wants to move to the East Coast. Dislike both the areas.

East Coast is not just NYC and that poll has 42 votes after I did.
