Okay, maybe I was wrong. I'm terrible at developer matchmaking :D
As an unrelated point, what's the startup scene look like in Seattle?
I'm looking to start-up and willing to relocate, but my wife hates San Fran, so unless I can find a SV suburb that's more midwestern (read: strip malls and yards) then I have to look elsewhere.
Seattle has a very healthy startup scene. If you want to you should come into Seattle and checkout Startpad (startpad.org). That's where I have my office at. They lease office space specifically to software startups. There's a good mixture of early stage and later stage companies there. The "biggest" company there is Rescue Time (I think they were funded by YC).
In any case it's in Pioneer Square, which is basically startup central. I'd be happy to show you around (and of course try to convince you to come work with me).
Seattle is not really Midwestern. I would say, if anything, it's more European. I'd say it's a nice place to live. My wife and I are both from WI and we like it here.
Eh Midwestern was probably the wrong word to use. We're in Phoenix now, which is basically just urban sprawl. She dislikes SF because it seems too foreign compared to the thousands of strip malls and subdivisions we have here.
