Living in the Seattle area, I will second Scott's comment about housing 
costs.
The average home in Seattle is about 400,000.

All of this has something to do with the level of activity in the market. 
Seattle
and it's surrounding cities are growing at an incredible rate.  Seattle and 
Bellevue
are a forest of tower cranes.  Something that you don't see in Rochester or
Buffalo.   WNY is a nice place (been there many times) but their cities 
market
rank continues to go down.   On the flip side, they are indeed nice places.
An - no- it does not snow all the time in Buffalo, nor does it rain all the 
time in
Seattle.   A serious person will get by the urban legends.
