San Francisco or Seattle
Hello. Been reading through various informative threads on both San Francisco and Seattle but haven't found one that does a comparison.
I intend to move to one of these cities (or surrounding area) early next year. I am single, early 40’s, visa holder and looking for a place with a buzz. I intend to work in IT and safety is big issue i.e. would prefer to live in a safe community and commute to the cultural stuff. Spent years in New York city and would like a change.
So here is my question:
If you have experienced both cities, which one would you prefer and why?
Thanks.

My feeling is that you would enjoy both places.
Oh no! I guess I am getting too Americanised. Well, I am going back to the UK on Friday. Hopefully I will get it back! LOL. Sorry guys!

Re: San Francisco or Seattle
Disappointed at the responses.
I thought that the thread would have been beneficial not only to me, but to anyone thinking of moving to these areas.
Maybe I misunderstood the nature of this forum.

MrP,
Both cities are quite good. I don't think you would go wrong living in either one.

One thing to consider is the cost of living...SF is the most expensive place to live in the US.

Re: San Francisco or Seattle
To the OP - San Fran would definitely have better weather. I wouldn't go to Seattle personally, because I wouldn't like that much rain. I found SF very charming - Chinatown was awesome, so was the seafood.
