1. The Seattle area.

2/3. I do like the climate. It's not too hot, not too cold, and rains a lot. It's not particularly humid. Summers are generably mild, with a couple hotter weeks in the middle. They're sunny but not overly hot the rest of the time. Winters are also pretty mild - we get snow maybe for a few days to a week if we're lucky.

4. We get the occasional windstorm or ice storm, but that's about it.

5. I've never had a problem with the public transportation, though my experience is mostly limited to buses. I find them to be inexpensive. They're - to steal a phrase from another commenter - clean enough that I've never thought about it. (To tie in to the next point, I meet all sorts of interesting people on buses.)

6. It's beautiful here - lots of scenic places. The natural attractions are cool, too. The weather is pleasant, there are lots of spiffy people about, and a good art scene. (Seattle itself is a fabulous city - there's bunches of nifty places to go.) It's very easy to find outdoorsy things to do.

7. Parking? Sucks. Well, at least in Seattle. I don't live in Seattle itself (and I don't drive), so it's less of a problem for me. The mosquitoes are freakin' annoying, though only a problem in the warmer months, and I expect less so in larger cities. (This is what comes of wet places with standing water. They're not nearly as bad as in Minnesota or Alaska, though.) Aaaand...it takes a bit to get anywhere.

8. Don't have the cash for it right now, more's the pity. And you'd have to put up with my art nesting~!

I'm not familiar with either of those banks, so I have no comment on them.
