Seattle

Don't they have a Socialist City Councilor? That is beyond awesome

But Denver is a great city. Except for that time it sabotaged Obama in the Debates by being so high up in the stratosphere that it affected his Oxygen levels.

So my choices are a city with no sun, or a cold mountain city? Ugh, we had so many good cities in California and and the Southwest, and you guys had to go and mess it up. Sad

Denver, because I'm so damn tired of Seattle always taking the top of these things.

That, and I enjoyed my weekend in Denver as a kid.

I have a feeling you've never been to Denver.  Average high in January:  44F, July:  88F

Denver receives about the same amount of sunshine per year as Los Angeles and receives the same amount of precipitation.

I haven't, but I have lived in Reno, and their winters are too cold for me. Denver's weather looks pretty similar, except they don't get quote as hot in the summer and even colder in the winter. Sure, the high in January is 44, but the low is 17, so the morning are probably pretty darn cold.

I mean.. the fact that LA and Denver have similar amounts of sunshine and precipitation is where the similarities end. 

I just wanted to point out that if sun and a fairly arid climate is your thing... Denver can certainly fit the bill.

Denver because the weather doesn't suck every day for six months straight.  Also, the hippie-and-hipster-per-capita ratio is probably a bit lower.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I would certainly pick Denver over places like the Midwest and New England. I'm just butthurt that the places I really like didn't make it through. Tongue

Atlas has a thing for cold, northern, liberal cities.  Especially ones not part of the rust belt.  (That basically means Seattle, Minneapolis, and Boston).

San Francisco is cooler than Seattle, Minneapolis, Boston, or Chicago...if you go there at the right time of year.

I went to Seattle in February during Presidents' Day Weekend in 2015, and you could wear a T-shirt, and there were hundreds of people sunbathing in parks by the water, parks that still had bright-green grass.

And SF is actually pretty consistent with temperature year-round, in the 50's-70's, my sister lived there for 3 years.

Precisely why pretty much nowhere else south of Fairbanks has a cooler July in the country. All those other "cold, liberal cities" go well pat the 70's and 80's at that point.

But what was actual tempature? I feeling that your idea of T-shirt weather and mine are two completely different things. Tongue

I think it was about 65-70 degrees that weekend in the sun (maybe 55-60 in the shade), which was warmer than the 45-50-degrees and overcast weather from where I just was in Portland.

I do like both.  At least Colorado has won "favorite state on Atlas" before, and so has Washington.
