What is the best city in the USA? Based on 23 years of traveling every state

I’ve been to every state in the USA and almost 200 cities. Every city has its own charm and something to offer. However, after years of traveling, I have found myself returning to this one city more than any other. Seattle is hands down my favorite city in the USA, and here is why:<br><br>Nature - There is a lake on one side and Puget Sound on the other. It has a variety of mountains to choose from. I personally prefer Mount Rainier, but Snoqualmie is also beautiful.<br><br>Food - Seattle and Portland are by far the best cities for food in the USA. Seattle has a wonderful selection of fresh seafood, and everything else is also delicious.<br><br>Culture - Seattle is known for being one of the most culturally rich cities in the USA. It has a very wide range of museums and music venues. Seattle is the birthplace of Nirvana, and for that reason alone it’s the best city in the USA. It also has a very wide range of public transportation. I enjoy riding the ferry.<br><br>Snow - Seattle is unique in that you can go from having no snow to plenty of snow in a short period of time. If you enjoy snow, you can also drive to the mountains for a day trip.<br><br>Weather - Seattle is known for being rainy, but I would argue it has the perfect weather. The weather is nice all year round. It’s also very green. It’s the only city that I have been to that never gets extremely hot or cold. There is never a period where you have to stay indoors like you do in other parts of the country.<br><br>Cost of living - Compared to San Francisco, LA, or NYC, Seattle is very reasonable. I don’t think you can find a city that checks all these boxes at such a low cost of living.<br><br>While nothing in life is perfect, Seattle is as close as it gets. I would love to hear about your experiences or opinions about Seattle or any other cities in the USA
