The rain in Seattle is beyond oppressive. Most people are "nice" but it can be more of a challenge making friends than in Vegas. I think it is the rain. People just clam up after a while. A sunny day changes people for the better so this is a great time of year. Dogs are a huge thing here, more so than anywhere else on planet Earth. The local economy is very good compared to most other areas.

I lived in Seattle but recently moved about 30 minutes North and I have to respectfully disagree about the rain negative hype... where I grew up in Connecticut has a higher yearly average for rainfall and way more of a harsh winter. Winters are wet in western Pacific Northwest but relatively mild.
People are friendly, cities are definitely dog friendly in general. Good cultural and entertainment options, and you don't have to go far to find a happy median of rural/suburban.
Oh yes, and weed is legal.
