A cold, crappy dark and damp fall and winter is common. It's almost as bad as Vancouver, Canada. However, it's important to point out that Seattle and Vancouver never froze over like Minneapolis and Winnipeg, Chicago and Toronto, NYC and Montreal, Boston and Halifax.

People are leaving Toronto and Vancouver in record numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Jh0EymI_A&t=103s  

In 2025, over 120,000 citizens and permanent residents left Canada for good—and early data shows this "Great Exodus" is only accelerating in 2026. From the housing crisis to stagnant wages, the reasons are clear, but the real question is: Where is everyone going? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDvV6v3YV-E

A very cold, crappy winter in Toronto, or perpetual cold, dreary dampness in Vancouver, is too much for some people to endure anymore.

SF and Seattle, etc.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seyMIhry1M8 

The SF and Boston land area can almost both fit into Seattle. However, the SF Bay Area and Greater Boston still have a lot more people than the Seattle-Tacoma Area.
