Basically... run!
The Pacific Northwest is gorgeous - that includes British Columbia, Canada - only a short trip over the border. A bit of rain? Sure, but hey, you're from the UK! No problem.
Along for the Ride
I agree! And don't spread the word, but it doesn't actually rain as much as people like to say. Plus, the summer weather is awesome! The only drawback I think would have to be the traffic. I have not lived in any other large cities, so I don't know how it compares, but the scenic waterways are not nice to the millions of cars trying to cross them. As far as I've experienced, Seattle itself is a nice enough city, but the surrounding water/mountains/forests are beautiful and where I prefer to spend my time. There will be plenty for you and your family to do if you do decide to move!

hate to be the negative guy but you should know that seattle does have the highest suicide rate in the states unless something has changed recently. My best friend lives their however and loves it so take that for what it is worth. negativity over.
