Seattle, I don't think as much, or even at all. Home and rent prices at least in Seattle seem stable or even increasing (for buying homes). Not clear why, maybe we're just behind the curve, or maybe it's because Seattle doesn't suffer from as serious of quality of life issues as SF area does.

I have been watching this and wondering the same thing. I think Seattle Washington's lack of city and state income tax is a huge plus and provides insulation. Contrast that with SF California of I think 1.50% + 7.25 - 12.3% taxes.

I wonder if a lot of Californians are coming to WA because of this
