I'm from Seattle (not living there at the moment), and I have heard more than one person describe it as "San Francisco Lite". There is a large tech community there, a fair amount of VC firms, and the cost of living is a bit cheaper. I would encourage anyone considering a move to SF to at least take a look at Seattle before they take the leap. EDIT: Everything you've heard about the bad weather is true.
