I think its best to take a 2 week vacation during the rainy days in Seattle and see if u like it . Do not come during the sunny days (summer time), because you will love the place and will take a decision right away . In seattle t rains or drizzles all the time and it can get very depressing . Out door activities will be less as there is no sun. People wait for summer in seattle to bring their parents to show the places and to enjoy the sun. So I think a decision to relocate should be done with a lot of research. Job chances are less compared to the bay area too.So check that also when you decide to move . Children do not have much outdoor activities and they play or go to the gym I feel . But its really good for people who likes rainy weather and no rush hush . Indian community is definitely not that big like bay area bz Indians are less of course . Not so many restaurants like in bay area . I think salary wise is little less too as cost of living is low . I have seen some people who moved from bay area and they were not so happy as they feel its very dull here , but I have seen people who began to enjoy the rains after a while and loved staying indoors. so I think the pick is entirely personal .I had been to SFO and I fell in love with the place and totally enjoyed the weather , various restaurants , had a feeling as if I was in Bangalore /Chennai .
I am in a similar situation. Curious to hear feedback from Rohit Sharma (the one who posted the question originally). All suggestions/feedbacks welcome. Is weather really that depressing?
I had relocated from Bay Area (Foster City) to Seattle in 2009 by my choice. I work for ORACLE and I had an option to work from any city in the US, I chose Seattle by my choice. Trust me it is the best place to live. If you need more details, please feel free to call me 425-945-8621 from 2pm - 5pm any day.
