SEATTLE!!!!!!!San Fran may have it s artistic freedom, but Washington have the mountains, coffee and fish (don t forget grunge).
They are both very beautiful coastal towns...personally I like Seattle better. San Francisco can be very expensive, and also, parts of it, like Fisherman s Wharf, have become very touristy. Seattle has fun tourist things like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, but also a lot of other fun things to do that most visitor s don t know about. And traveling to all the different towns around the Puget Sound is very fun.
San Francisco!
