[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seattle isn't *that* much cheaper than here (and some things may be more expensive), but I assume your husband could get some kind of job making at least $25k?  If so, seems to be a wash from a HHI standpoint so go ahead and move if you think you'll be happier there...

My husband is from Seattle, and while we love it there, the weather truly depresses me too much.[/quote]

Ditto.  DH is from Seattle and all his family is there so we go out a lot... housing prices are not that much cheaper close-in and traffic is pretty bad if you live further out.  BIL and SIL both work for Microsoft and recently traded in a bigger house further out for a much smaller one closer in due to the horrible commute.  I also have trouble with the weather- constant gray and extremely short summers (and even then, it rarely cracks 80 degrees).  Some people can handle the weather, but you really need to figure out if you are one of those people.  (Hiking in 50 degree mist on a Saturday is not a fun weekend for me...)  Definitely spend some time out there before you accept the job- at least a long weekend.[/quote]
