I grew up in Arizona, and I'm moving to Seattle. The weather is a bit of a downer, but there's a lot more to the area than the weather. When the weather becomes a pain (as, inevitably, it will), we'll just hop down to the place in Scottsdale to dry out. Sort of the best of both worlds. I've lived in California for something like 22 years now and I'm STILL not used to it, although Northern California is the best compromise.

And Alaska Airlines is a nice alternative to America Worst and Southworst. I fly to Seattle often enough to sit in the first class cabin much of the time. What a nice change from cattle calls on Southwest.
