Bay Area?

My wife and I are leaving the Bay Area because we don't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever owning before we retire. Housing prices are just insane here due to the techies and their inflated salaries - I'm an engineer in a non-software related field and my salary doesn't even compare to those kids making phone apps. If we did leave our rent controlled apartment here, our rent would go up by at least 50%. When we get the hell outta dodge, we've been thinking Seattle first followed by Portland.

Post is about the greater Seattle area and the eastside suburbs.
