I've visited Seattle a few times, and its one of the most beautiful places around. There are many great things about it, one only one bad thing. Of course, the rain. I know more than one person who moved there and then came back after a couple of winters because the rain drove them toward depression. But they were all from the Bay Area. If you can handle MN winters, you can probably handle the rain. I've been to MN too, and loved the forests and lakes, but Washington has far more to offer.
