Uh, hi! I don't know if you remember me from college maybe, or nethack, or running into you and phi and M at breakfast at Wiscon last year.
Anyway, I don't feel like I have any good advice to give, but I live in Seattle, and I know some friendly nerds here, and we founded Seattle Attic together, which might be interesting to you. If you want to talk about what it's like here, I am happy to give unvarnished opinions. (For instance, I think it's *less* dark than New England- I think the cloud cover is less dense and it's definitely less consistent.)
(I spent about a week in Tucson in 2009 and loved it to pieces. That year was the first time I ever saw desert and I fell completely in love (but since I am functionally allergic to heat, it helped that it was October). I still think fondly of Revolutionary Grounds and wish I'd bought myself a tshirt.)
