disagree. living in seattle, or even bellingham (up and coming good place to be, not too shabby now) wouldnt be that bad at all. dont bother owning a car in seattle, just live somewhere good where you dont need to drive, and sign up for zip car.
weather is mild most of the year depending on where you're moving from. its 43 outside right now. its dark by 5pm (sun starts setting at 3) in the winter, and 10pm (sun starts setting at 8:30) in the summer. rains a lot in the fall, but its not an ice cold rain. itll be 53 and raining all week here in bc. its been sunny and in the 40s the last few days. looking forward to the rain tbh. spring and summer are super nice here, fall and winter are better than living in the northeast, which is my only real standard.
