I think I would really like SEA but I'd be gone almost half the time and my wife has expressed a strong dislike of the constant drizzle up there for much of the year.

My biggest beef with ATL is the heat and humidity. Probably going to live on the south side which means our school options are fairly limited, private school is not an option. North side is nice, but not nice enough to counter the traffic of the north side. Also looking at Chattanooga -- perhaps a little risky sitting SC up there, a 2+ hour drive and still have to deal with the north side traffic, and lose the option of working at the training center but gain the benefits of no state tax and a cooler and less humid home.
The traffic isn't bad enough to make the north side non-viable. It is bad but certainly not a deal breaker (IMO). I live in the northeast corner of Cobb County and leave the house 1.5 hrs before sign in, worst case. Schools are great. I can get to the north Georgia mountains in an hour and a half, property taxes are low, and you get a pretty good bit of house for your money.

I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting short call in Chattanooga either.

PM me and I'll give you my cell # if you want to know anything more about E/NE Cobb.
