Seattle has the best of all worlds. The rain, as said above, is never really a problem, as it never really pours. *spelling. The misty weather can be somewhat conforting at times. The fall is, in my opinion, the best time of the year in the PNW because of the colors and the crisp weather. Not too hot in the summer, yet not too cold in the winter. You have mountains to ski less than 2 hours away, dry arid weather less than 3 hours away, Vancover is like a 3 hour drive. Lake and ocean practically next to eachother, and you can pretty much do anything outdoorsy, because you have close access to all kinds of weather and land. You can go wine tasting, as both Washington and Oregon have many wineries. The city itself has a lot of things to do. Lots of diverse festivals throughtout the year.
I have lives in both cities, although I moved out of Denver when I was 7. I remember hot summers, and lots of snow in the winters. Very dry in Denver. It does have Casa Bonita, which I rember vividly. Also, my says that poeple in Seattle are on average more distant and less sociable than in Denver.
My sister just got her first graphic design job in Seattle just 1 month after graduating, so the market is pretty good here for that field, but it might be just as good in Denver or better, I don't really know.
ps. Seattle, as you may know, is on a big hill. My school is at the top and my job is at the bottom. The hills can be troublesome at points, but you do get lots of excersise just by walking. There are many nightlife districts to choose from, not just in Seattle either, mostly with your veriety of clubs and bars. Bellevue, Belltown, Freemont, Capital Hill, Pioneeer Sqaure, Kirkland, The AVE, etc.. Although last call is at 1:45, bummer
