My family lives in that area and there is a ton of stuff to do in the surrounding area. Burning hot deserts and great skiing in Denver. Go where your heart desires though.

Yes, Seattle has a low population, but Denver's population is even smaller, just barely though. Seattle is the 22nd most populated city in the US followed by Denver at 23.

I visit Austin all the time. Great city, great people, great music scene. Just saw Walk the Moon live and it was fucking amazing.

I'd go with Austin, the city and surrounding area is rapidly growing. I've visited there and loved it. The job market there is getting strong and the futures development is off the charts. It's also affordable.

I've been all over the US and there's no city I like as much as Seattle.

love seattle, but the biggest misconception is the rain. we have far more grey overcast days than rainy ones, still equally as depressing though. summers up here are really what make the PNW amazing.

That'll put the price of grams up somewhere around $18. Not only that, DUI laws are going into place in which if you've smoked within the last 1-2 days, you will fail the saliva tests and be charged with a DUI-D. I believe Denver has like an 18% tax too.

Not going for the weed. I could care less, I've never had a problem finding it legal or not. I just want a change of scenery. Dallas sucks, no inspiration or cultural progression anywhere.

Seattle, because it's the only place I've been to out of your options and it is beautiful. I only go there a few times every few years for concerts, but I always love going, even though the last time I went I got lost a lot because of all their stupid road construction.

[livingalive626]

To clarify everyone, I've been to both Austin and Seattle numerous times as I have relatives in both cities. I haven't spent as much time in Denver, but the majority of my friends put their votes in on that city. The biggest reasons being that the cost of living is cheaper than the west coast, but the city itself is just a prettier city than Austin....
I'm a hardcore libertarian, and vegan.... but I enjoy fast cars and shooting guns too, you know? So I'm somewhere in the middle... which is why Denver is at the top of my list at the moment.

my girlfriend and I are making yearly trips there now after I took her this past spring. Breathtaking city.

Yeah, I've been there in both seasons. I always describe it as a light mist all day.

You shouldn't drive high anyway.
