@David...thanks for your response. My husband and i have been considering relocating to Seattle and I have been so torn by the varying opinions of people on these blogs. But, you clarified what I figured was true for almost any city. I grew up in NYC, which people tend to characterize as a rude city, but I have some of the nicest most warm-hearted friends there. So, I think a lot depends on who you attract, what activities you engage in and how often you get out to meet like-minded people.

I relocated to Tampa Fl from NYC about 4 years ago. If you like tropical hot weather and easy year-round access to beaches, then you might like the Tampa bay area. However, I find the city lacking in public transportation, pedestrian friendly neighborhoods and quality public education. It could be a much nicer city if they focused on developing these areas.
