I haven’t spent time around Seattle, but I’m wondering if you have spent much time in the Bay Area peninsula and how you would compare the climates of the two. Picking Redwood City as a good “middle of the peninsula” location (and whose slogan is “climate best by government test”) and comparing climate stats with Seattle, it seems to me that I would prefer Redwood City in nearly every category. The clearest advantage Seattle has is the extra hour of daylight in the summer, but of course you pay that back in the winter.
