These American Cities Are the Best for Daily Life

8. Seattle, WA

Coffee lovers will be right at home in bustling Seattle, the birthplace of American coffee culture. This city famously serves as the backdrop to the drama on Shondaland's Grey's Anatomy. It's also known for its many rainy days, but the Olympic Peninsula means it's a favorite with outdoor enthusiasts, and the climate makes the landscape wondrously green. Seattle has culture coming out of its ears too. Also, consider nearby Bellevue, an area with a high annual median income. More than half of the residents here own their homes, whereas more people rent in Seattle.
