Why San Diegans Move to Seattle

The SD to Seattle Move —
What You Need to Know

Seattle has pulled San Diego tech workers north for years, and the reasons are hard to argue with.

💻

Dominant Tech Job Market

Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple, and Boeing all have major operations in Seattle. For software engineers, product managers, and tech executives, career opportunities here are extraordinary.

💰

No State Income Tax

Washington has no state income tax, same as Nevada and Texas, but with a Pacific Coast lifestyle. For high earners leaving California, this is an immediate and significant financial benefit.

🌲

Pacific Northwest Lifestyle

Mt. Rainier, Olympic National Park, the San Juan Islands, and hundreds of miles of trails. Seattle delivers on outdoor recreation in a completely different way than San Diego, more dramatic, more varied.

🏠

Premium But Different

Seattle is not cheap, home prices are high. But value relative to San Diego is better in many neighborhoods, and the Eastside suburbs offer excellent schools and newer construction at somewhat lower prices.

🌧️

Yes, It Really Does Rain

Seattle averages 150 rainy days per year. The adjustment from SD sunshine is real. But summers are spectacular, warm, long, and almost perfectly dry from June through September.

🚢

Unique Urban Character

Pike Place Market, the ferry system across Puget Sound, and incredibly diverse neighborhoods give Seattle a character that's deeply different from San Diego, and deeply loved by transplants.
