That was a good read. I have to say that moving here to Seattle was a good move on my part from St. Louis. That city has enough interesting things to last maybe a full three months before you've explored everything. Maybe a year if you're a home-body. I keep discovering cool things about Seattle and I've lived here for two years! There aren't many cities out there that boast Seattle's quirks and unique things. I also have had a fun time and met my wife here, so my judgment may be a little rose-colored.
Yeah the roads absolutely suck (worst than any place I've ever driven). Yeah, if given the chance to go back to my hometown of Chicago I'd go in a heartbeat. But the natural scenery is just unbeatable here. The local culture is varied and people complain about the "Seattle freeze" but in my honest opinion all you need to do is find something you find interesting and join a club or something. I'm used to cloudy winters (Chicago is very gloomy as well).
... but I would love to stay here.
