Stooge, I too live in Seattle and have lived in LA. Everything you speak of is available in Seattle and is far easier to access. Great ethnic food–for sure. The arts–I think the fine arts are fine in Seattle and not spread all over three counties. The weather–yes it sucks–LA wins for sure. As for the schools in the sciences I think UW and UCLA are peers and very close. UW is amazing in biosciences with easily as much research going on as UCLA. Plus you have all the biotech firms that are not around UCLA but down in San Diego versus right in the Seattle area.

Overall UW is greatly underrated. It belongs with the other top publics.
