Portland is a city of New York and Boston transplants that moved there jobless because they thought it was cool. It's identity is built on an illusion and isn't genuine. And they only have one sports team, the Trail Blazers, and no one even likes them. They're all into soccer and shit.

Ew literally not true. Also New York and Boston are full of transplants in itself.
Right, I'm painting a comical picture of people watching the Blazers like "guess this is what we got".
Whenever I argue the sports point I do it ironically because personally I don't give a shit about sports outside of the rare instance one of my proximity teams is having a decent season.

Seattle/Denver/Portland are all great (well, I've never been to Portland, so I assume) and are all going to be voted out the next three, leaving the 3 biggest cities in the US and New Orleans.
Does it really matter the order they go out? We should manufacture a three way tie so we can get down to brass tacks.
My current vote is on Seattle because it has double the votes as Denver but seriously why would Denver still be here?? FOR THIS GUY???
I’m saying! No one has been able to tell me something positive about Denver, yet - just stuff they don’t like about other places.
Denver is a great city for outdoors activity! I thought it was fascinating that you are at the airport east of the city and you're taking directions on tornado shelter, then you get downtown and see the Rockies to the west. It felt very much like the frontier to me, I was fascinated by that aspect of it.
The baseball stadium is very cool - it has great outfield seating options, which is one of the things I look for in a ballpark (including the dead center field seats that are elevated to the second level). It's also a great area around the ballpark, walking through RiNo (which I believe stands for River North) with lots of breweries, outdoor bar areas, etc.
I also really enjoyed the Denver Botanical Gardens.

I like this idea. I have nothing against any of these three cities, but none of them will win.
Thanks for the call to action garageland . Of the 7 cities I've lived in, Seattle is far and away the best of them. Here's 7 brief reasons why:
If a band is going on a North American tour, 99 times out of 100 they're coming through Seattle
I go months at a time without checking the weather. The temperature it was yesterday? That's probably pretty much the temperature today. It won't get any colder than 40 in the winter and won't get any hotter than 80 in the summer. The rain? Oh, you mean when it sprinkles and mists all day and you can essentially never get wet? I lived in Iowa, Minnesota and Tennessee; when it rains in those places it's fucking RAINING. Here when it rains you can still casually go about your day. Because of this, then, the summers are absolutely glorious. From about mid-April until mid-September the weather is damn-near perfect. It doesn't rain the entire summer, it's just 65-75 degrees and sunny almost every day. The weather gets a seriously bad rep and I don't understand.
I've lived here for 6 years without a car and it's not a problem at all. We have a light rail, deeply thorough bus system and the Sounder getting commuters in and out of town. We have dedicated bike lanes throughout the city as well as the Burke-Gilman Trail spanning about 19 miles of the city. I walk to and from work every day and it's lovely.
If sports are your thing, we have the NFL, MLB, MLS, NHL and mark my goddamn words we'll have the SuperSonics back in the next 5 years.
It's literally on the Puget Sound, which means since it's sea level you get grassy, rocky and sandy beach parks, views of the mountains on either side of the city, ferries in and out of town, as well as views of the neighboring towns and neighborhoods.
Cost of living complaints? All of these cities are cities, it's 2022 and most of you are adults; figure it out. Get roommates, a second job, lower your expectations, live 2 miles outside of town, or don't live in a city. I've been living and working in cities for the past 12 years, I don't understand this argument. "BUT ISN'T IT SoOoOoOo expensive?!" Only if you're not paying attention. Do your research and maybe go to the grocery store more often.
The people? Most of them aren't from here, which allows for a decent amount of sociocultural diversity. Sure, the population of vest-wearing cis-het white dudes is exhausting, but they all stay in their neighborhoods and they're easily avoided.
Denver is wildly overrated. I have fond feelings about Chicago because of going to Pitchfork with one of my brothers some 10 years, but it's still the midwest so it sucks from October to March. A sex worker tried to convince me of her services outside of a Subway in LA while my dad and I were stuck there for three days trying to fly out to New Zealand when I was 17, so I'm pretty ehh about it. Portland is straight up *fine*. And I've somehow lived my whole life without ever going to NYC or NOLA, so I have no opinions other than I know almost for a fact I'd really enjoy both.
To be fair, here's a con: Mount Rainier is only 60 miles away and is literally an active volcano, perhaps the most dangerous in the country and one of the most dangerous in the world. So, if potential imminent death is a concern of yours, then perhaps this is a factor to consider. But, you could make that argument for literally all of life, so, to each their own.

I wouldnt say this is a con. Yellowstone is also active and if it goes off we're all pretty much done.
