Hi, I'm a midwest gal (Michigan) and have lived in Seattle for almost 5 years now. Whether you like the pacific northwest or not depends on your personal preferences. Honestly, I can't wait to move out of here. I like warm weather and the *few* weeks we have in the summer is not enough for me.

The riding is much better here than the midwest. Yes, you can ride all year-if you have fenders and raingear! It can be quite hilly in spots but there are also flat rides too. You can also find tons of people to ride with- Seattle is a very bike-friendly town.

PM me if you have any questions.
