i live in washington but i'm basing my comparison off of what my friend who moved to AK had to say
AK is fucking boring and jobs are shit. but cost of living is dirt cheap and you can be buying what would be considered a mansion here for the cost of a shoebox apartment in seattle. there is nothing to do in AK and not very many people. seattle is being overtaken by h1-b street shitters and theres a lot of people but none of them speak any english or interact with anyone outside their insular communities. the seattle freeze isn't a meme and its the worst its ever been. most of the city is transplants now, don't expect any of the stereotypes or tropes about the city to be true anymore. everyone is a shut-in. weed is legal in washington, and way better. AK bud is trash they ended up having to overpay for inferior quality internet weed.
i would go for AK if the jobs are the same so i could live better and travel more, but i'm the type where i can make my own fun anywhere i go.
