Just got a job offer there and it's a pretty decent job but that's quite the move. Figured I would ask and see if any of you had any advice or know how of the place.

I went in December one year and it was the shittiest weather I've ever experienced. 30's and 40's with rain the entire week. I hear it's beautiful during the spring and summer months though.

All of the real Tiger fans went up there for the Washington game. I was only there for 4 days but I thought it was a VERY cool city.

great city

the summers are amazing

the fall/winter/spring suck because of the cloud cover

it doesn't rain as much as people think, just kinda mists a lot

expensive to live in the city

Beautiful city & area, best & loudest stadium in the NFL, bad traffic, decent food, great beer & really rude people.

Seattle is fcking awesome. I've been there 5 times.
Just make damn sure you've researched the housing market to cover your cost of living with the money you are being offered.
Housing is stupid expensive up there.

I've been a few times. I didn't mind the weather all that much and I'm someone who can't stand cold gloomy weather.

If you are moving from anywhere in Louisiana I'd say do it. Especially if you don't have a lot of family tying you down or anything.

I lived up there from 07-09 (deployed a lot, though). Great city. I will say that it is pretty gray most of the year and obviously gets a lot of rain. But the summer months in NW Washington are absolutely phenomenal, the food scene is good, and I'd put the music scene up against just about any in the country. Plus you're within just a couple of hours of Vancouver, BC and Portland.

What kind of salary increase/promotion opportunities are you looking at? Cost of living isn't crazy, but it's a good bit higher than the deep south.

Also have a friend and her husband that moved there about four months ago. They love it other than the rain and cold for the last month.
