Single?
Kids?
Wife? work?
$170k with family and wife not working would be rough.

I'd go to Tacoma. Wouldn't even have to think twice.
I enjoy the outdoors though

Which city would you be happier? Go there

There must be some sort of catch here. OP can’t seriously be debating San Diego to Tacoma, WA?

Tacoma all day. Had a buddy live in SD, was there for 3 years, home prices are astronomical..at 170k you ain't buying shite within 2 hours that you would want to live in..also, if southern guy, I hear it is almost to chilly most of the time, you don't get really hot days.... downfall of Tacoma is rain, rain, rain and more rain

You get paid 25% more to live in the better city ... how is this even a question? At that salary you can easily afford CoL. I have colleagues that make far less and comfortably own homes there.

Probably San Diego with 170k. If you would prefer to live in Tacoma, maybe you could leverage the company offering you 135k.
What do you do OP?

Tacoma. No questions asked. I love the PNW.

Depends, are you married and do you have kids?
If the answer is neither this isn't even a decision. Also, if not married and no kids how much it would cost to be a house shouldn't even be in the top 10 things I would consider.

You’d be poor in San Diego on that salary. Live like a king in Washington and vacation in San Diego whenever the frick you want.

Is that really a question?
SD no doubt

Short stint at the location and renting, i would probably do San Diego. Long stint and with family or buying a house, probably Tacoma.

Tacoma, WA: $135,000 salary
I moved to Seattle and heard terrible things about Tacoma, until I bought a house there (for fairly cheap, relative to prices now, as my neighbors house just went for 200k more than I paid for mine). The Tacoma area is great. There's good food to be had, Seattle is relatively easy to get to (although the reverse commute works best), and there's always a lot to do. The scenery regularly blows me away. My only issues have been traffic, as it's a hellscape and dating, as the women from here, I've found, are cold and homely, relative to other cities where I've lived.
For that salary, you could live pretty much anywhere, even into Seattle, and you could reverse commute into Tacoma. Georgetown is a nice little neighborhood in Seattle that I love, West Seattle is really nice, Burien is great, I'd avoid Des Moines, parts of Federal Way are really nice, Issaquah, where my family lives, is super swanky, and you have somewhat easy access to Tacoma using Highway 18. I'd avoid the northern suburbs of Seattle though.
