I've never been to Phoenix, but Seattle is awesome. A cousin of mine got a tech job up there so we've been visiting a lot. If you're an outdoors person, you'll absolutely love it there.

Is it a job offer within the tech industry?
It is not, but with a non-profit.

Also whoever said it's possible to live in Seattle without a car and public transportation being reliable, has never lived in Seattle. That's just bad advice/info.
I said that, and I've lived in Seattle for 8 years without a car

Phoenix has hotter women and a better party scene. Seattle has legal weed and more of a big city feel. Both have awesome outdoor activities but I'd give Seattle the edge because it's close to a wider variety of environments.
Especially on Camelback Mountain.
Isn't the MMJ program in Arizona almost as open and easy to get a card as Cali? In Phoenix I saw dispensaries and docs listed all over the local free magazines.

I'm not sure. I moved from AZ in '04 and I was in the military then so I wasn't exactly toking up.

My friend has lupus and had no trouble getting a medical card here.
She actually has a legit medical condition that benefits from the program. Since getting the medical card...she's been able to stop taking a couple other arthritis meds that had been giving her unwanted side effects.

Seattle and it isn't even close. Seattle is a great city.

What are your thoughts on rain?
I currently live in Seattle and have lived in Phoenix and there is no comparison...Seattle hands down. I think that Seattle's reputation for rain is way overblown. They get about half the rainfall of BR and this past winter set records for rainfall but I rarely needed to stay indoors (I hike most weekends). Light rain is common but nothing a good rain parka can't handle. Spring-summer-fall are unbeatable. I found Phoenix heat to be oppressive (sure, no humidity, but 110 and above is challenging) and the city sprawls forever.

To me this comes down to salary. Seattle is a much better city but I don't know if you'd want to live there on a beginning salary or if you're making way less than $100k.
If you're single and making close to $100,000 or more I'd pick Seattle b/c your quality of living would be fine
If you're making between $30-000 and $80,000 I'd pick Phoenix.
Adjust for your wife/kids if you have any.

Drizzling rain or dust storms? Both towns have their ups too.

Seattle easily. It's a true world class city surrounded by world class mountains/nature/ocean, and only a quick car/train ride to Vancouver or Portland. This shouldn't be a question at all if you love the outdoors.

I'd go Seattle.

Phoenix has better weather than Seattle.
Phoenix is close to Los Angeles and Vegas.
Seattle is close to Portland and Vancouver.
I would pick Phoenix.

Debatable.

It's even cheaper if you go more west valley or east valley.
We got lucky though..I know rents have gone up some. Still....you could easily find a 1 bedroom apt for 900-1000 in Scottsdale.
