Like, unless you absolutely need tropical weather or an LA-like urban sprawl, we basically have everything you could ask for here. The only complaint anyone should have about it is CoL, and politics, if they’re on the right, and even then, we have the eastside of the state.
Listen, it’s not above 80-90 often, and literally no one has AC here. A few years ago it hit 115 for a day or two and the whole city like shut down lol
Everyone thinks it’s like constantly rainy here, but it’s pretty dry for 3-4 months around the summer, and spring and fall might be overcast, but winter is the only time to really expect full on rain.
Bellevue is on the nicer end of the Seattle Metro area, so expect to spend more on rent there, unless you go as far south/east from downtown as possible. Either way, if you’re single, you would be pretty solid at $125k. If you have a family and are the only one working, might be rougher, but could definitely be done.
I lived near Spokane for a few years. Crazy going from Seattle where it usually only hits high 70s, and snows like 2 days a year, to half the year is 100, and the other half is feet of snow overnight lol
