I hate to give out the secret, but you'll probably like Portland a lot better than Seattle if you need models. WA state has some bizarre laws whereas OR is one of the most liberal and wide-open states anywhere. Portland has more nudie bars per capita than anyplace in the world, probably, excluding perhaps Manila, Bangkok, and a few other remote place.
Plus, it's regarded as "the most wired city in America" and we have the country's largest bookstore, Powell's Books.
The economy has hit the area hard, but since you make your living off the Internet and are not looking for work in the wood products or electronics industries, you should be okay, and actually the bad economy helps drive down the cost of renting or buying living space.
