A comparison, such as it is, between our old home and new home...

Western New York	Western Washington	Comments
Rochester	Bellevue	Seattle is just on a different scale from WNY so it's difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison with Western NY. Bellevue, on the other hand, is a city in its own right with a real downtown and all.
Henrietta	Tukwila	Major malls and industrial center
Greece	Redmond	Home of the region's famous employer, busy commercial town center
Pittsford	Woodinville	Overcrowded little village with expensive homes nearby
Fairport	Bothell	Sprawling high-tech campus with a problematic commute
Victor	Lynnwood	Shopping and entertainment just over the county line
Irondequoit	Renton	More or less gracefully aging lakeside community
