"If you go to Kirkland and get laid off there, you're almost certainly going to have to move again to find your next job." This seems to be a bit of an odd statement, given that Kirkland is right next to Redmond and Bellevue, across the lake from Seattle, and is home to offices of some major tech companies (including Google). Sure, it's not Silicon Valley, but there's still plenty going on here. I haven't been to Sunnyvale, but I can't imagine how it could be drastically different from Kirkland and the Eastside. Are you sure you're not thinking of Richland?
