You can't even compare the two.
Any single district of San Fran blows away the entirety of Seattle by itself.

Don't get me wrong, I love San Fran, but I prefer Seattle. San Fran is just god awful expensive. A $500,000 home will get you a crack house in San Fran, if you are lucky. I bought my house for $300K in south seattle a few years ago and I have a kick ass view of Lake Washington and it takes me 20 minutes to get downtown. $1,000,000 gets you 1000 square feet on Lombard Street? No thanks.
I can hit the ski slopes with a 30 minute drive (white pass, snoqualmie) go water skiing after work on Lake Washington, or go for a hike in the North Cascades or Rainier. Go fish on the Sound or the many rivers. Vancouver is a 3 hour drive, Whistler is 4 hours or so.
Yea, we get earthquakes once every 10 years, but nobody dies.
Again, I love San Fran, more options at a lesser price in Seattle.
Our sports suck though (but it isn't like the Bay Area is kickin' it either...)
