So, I'm a teacher here and With a population of 96,638, Suffolk is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Am I wrong here? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is solid in most areas.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely tough and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (The Heights) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Seattle, be prepared for the culture shock. community vibe is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want safety, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
