I moved from Austin to Seattle after growing up in TX. It was a very good decision. Tons of trans resources. If people are weird to me at least there is some social pressure to not be obvious about it, whereas in TX the opposite would be true.
The rain is not bad at all, the winter is the exact same as it is in TX, but the summer is fair and beautiful. They don't really have air conditioning anywhere, so that takes some getting used to even when it is not that hot. Conditioned air just feels different than air that has not had the humidity removed. Kinda sticky and gross sometimes.
Also, in TX there is so much land that is cheap, buildings and parking lots are huge. Everything here feels really close together and small.
The only thing I miss is the food. Oh tex-mex, how I love you. Nothing remotely close to it here. Lots of fish. They really like salmon. And good queso is a foreign concept, and there is maybe one breakfast taco place in all of Seattle.
And just saw your other post about the green - you would not believe how la de da people are about here. Almost like craft beer with the levels of pretentious surrounding it. edit: overstated how much it is used here relative to alcohol without thinking - it shows up here all the over the place and tons of people you would not expect to partake do so.
