Apart from work, why do so many tech people live in Seattle? I know there are a ton of companies there (obv). Can y'all not work from home (and live in like FL?), what's so great about Seattle? Do you tend to make more connections? I just don't get it, are there hotties in Seattle? EDIT: There are no hotties in Seattle!
Weather is awesome in Seattle 😆
Same as Portland and I don't see anyone there.
lots of tech folks in portland
It was a lot nicer 5 years ago
Contradictory to popular opinion I actually like the weather.
Portland?
Same! I like the weather and the people. Public transport isn't too bad (compared to parts of California) summers are so awesome! Winters are great for winter sport! What more do you need?
I like living in Seattle. Winters are dark, but not super inclement. Spring/summer is amazing. I’ve also found the suburbs are really nice places to raise a family, which is what I’m looking for
Expensive suburbs for shitty houses?
Only 1.5M to live in bustling Bothell with one hour commute
Lol wut
If I live in Florida, I would get a huge paycut. Also, why would I live in Florida? The weather is hot as hell.
I guess it comes down to preference, I tend to like sunny weather
Then why don't you move to Florida OP? Why don't you work remote?
Not sure the question here. There a lot of tech companies here. Most people in tech are males. Many still have to go to office some times. Seattle is also a nice place to live. It’s expected yea? Same way that there are a lot of finance bros in New York. As for “hotties”, the general answer seems to be no. Seattle is known as being one of the worst places to date for men and women.
Just curious if people were in Seattle by choice or just cause they have to be there for work (in which case I understand)
Yea if you want the high TC offer you need to be in NYC, Seattle, or Bay. Seattle wins because no state tax. That’s why people come here.
Grew up in the area and have lots of friends and family here. Spending time in other cities makes me ask the same question though. Fortunately I’m already married, but it’s insane how many beautiful women there are in Austin/Miami. Really feel for the single guys in Seattle, dating is rough around here.
Following. Seattle is weak af.
