Most Livable Region?
Mossback Knute Berger on Pugetopolis, the land he loves -- and its humorless, passive-aggressive inhabitants
Knute Berger's "Mossback" column at Seattle Weekly and Crosscut.com has allowed him to poke at the city's complacent self-conceits.

I’m thinking of moving from San Diego to Seattle. I don’t enjoy California, I’m more the indoor type. So my question is, would I enjoy living in Seattle, or is there another area in the Northwest suited to my values? I’m 25, single, prefer bookstores to surfing, variable weather to constant sunshine, will be seeking employment in the tech sector, I’m more liberal than conservative, but don’t want to be in an area dominated by the extreme left or right. I really hate traffic. I prefer laid back and casual to formality.
My passion is writing and I’m currently working in an essay writing company in California. Differing Ryan, I enjoy California a lot cos its close to beautiful spots and a lot of vacant jobs are available. By the way, the post is very nice and though its kind of a long story, I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the knowledge and entertainment.
