I lived in Seattle for years, still visit often, and have a lot of both conservative and liberal friends there. Like every place else in this world, it takes all kinds! :) This next may sound cliche, but it’s true: if you are prone to seasonal depression, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU. Fall and Winter are quite dark, wet and brooding; Spring and Summer are somewhat less dark, wet and brooding.

The weather is somewhat offset, however, by the incredible seafood.

Thanks for the informative post...Not sure about the Seasonal Depression issue...she lived in northern Michigan for 6 years...seems like a lot of cloudy days up there as well. Perhaps taking Vitamin D helps? It did not seem to get her down too much.

She just wants to go where she has some dear friends and can get a well-paying job—and a change from the rather boring Midwest. I want her to be happy long-term and hopefully, God willing, meet a soul-mate who she can be happy with for her post-college journey :)
