I haven't posted much here yet (though I read the forums avidly). I am also from the Seattle area. I live in Kirkland and work in the video game industry down in Redmond. I recently transfered my team of 5 to a local server here in Seattle (Shandris); I have noticed a huge difference in latency (30ms vs 300+ms on servers in Dallas).
I started on a Seattle server - Uther - and still play there but now live in Dallas. I see the exact opposite of what you see. If I didn't have such a huge network of friends and family on Uther I would consider moving. That and like 65 toons that would have to move that I would have to pay for (my whole family plays).

I lived in Seattle - well Marysville - and worked downtown for about 3 years. I loved the summers but had a really hard time with the winters, the whole family did. If I ever get to the point where i can have a "summer home" that is where it will be.

I also did a 3 week TDY at Ft. Lewis for Team Spirit back in like '94 that was cool, other then staying in the old tinderboxes, I mean barracks, on old fort. Weather was great the whole time I was there, I really enjoyed it.
