  Basically we need somewhere not as hot 90% of the year and newish to us as we’ve done everything possible in and around central Texas and Texas overall. Our preference is Westwards. My preference is within a days drive of a coast.
  
  California is expensive af. Hence... the PNW.
  
  But maybe we’ll just move to Portugal. Lol.

  Right... I’ve heard lots of pros/cons to Seattle as you’ve definitely laid out. It’s been about 10 years since I last visited. We are a ways away form any decision and would do a scouting trip or two first.
  
  Everything is pointing me more towards the PDX metro... but I don’t really want to pay Oregon state income taxes.

  Nice. We are early stages considering relocating from Austin to PNW. Not sure where. I can work remote so I think being g I. Washington is better from tax purposes. But that could mean northern Portland suburbs or elsewhere. I’ve heard conflicting info on Seattle. Like it’s become to corporate big tech bro ish.
  
  Just looking for info! Thanks
