Denver...
Not lots of snow in the winter in the city -- and it's generally gone within a couple of days because of the lack of humidity and the altitude. As many sunny days per year on average as San Diego. Because of low humidity, hot doesn't feel as hot and cold doesn't feel as cold. Most of the heavy snow is in the mountains -- which are immediately adjacent to the metro area.
Because there aren't a lot of other "big" cities around, Denver has better than average restaurants, theatre, and other arts. Denver Center for the Performing Arts is the largest theatre complex in the country outside of NYC. A couple of years ago, DCPA originated two of Time Magazines top ten theatre events of the year -- The Laramie Project and Tantalus. Lloyd-Webber's Sunset Blvd. and Disney's Lion King national tours both opened in Denver.
Highly educated population. Not as diverse as other places, though. 13-14% Hispanic, 7-8% African American.
Recreation opportunities abound! Obviously.
Easy transportation everywhere from the new Denver International Airport.
Lots more.
Great place to live.
Lots of major law firms -- again, because it's the biggest city in this part of the country.
The one place Seattle wins is in water sports -- obviously.
