For a US city to be the best,you have to look at several things like public transportation,budget,employment,good quality of life,low crime rate,scenery and more.Seattle really is an interesting and great place to start a fresh life.it is very green and its nickname is the Emerald city.the city has magnificent views of Mt Rainier and the Olympic Mountains,and the Pacific Ocean is only one hour and 45 minutes away or nearly 2 hours.Big companies are based in Seattle like Microsoft,Starbucks,Boeing,Amazon,among others,and the city is Bill Gates hometown.
Depends on your lifestyle, really. I grew up in the midwest and decided I wanted to do the same thing, so I moved to Tampa, FL. Florida is beautiful overall. I despise cold weather, but if you can t tolerate heat, I would suggest someplace else. My 2 suggestions would be Tampa or Miami... but you can almost bet that the cost of everything will be much more expensive here than what you re used to. That is, unless you re coming from some place such as NYC or Cali... Very fast paced life style, lots of diverse cultures and people, so if you re the farmer Joe type who likes the rural settings with cows and chickens, I d suggest moving to Indiana or Kentucky LOL
