With your skillsets the greater Seattle area could work out well with Boeing and Lockheed having significant operations up there demand for skilled labor is relatively high. You don't necessarily have to work there, lots of subcontracted operations for aerospace hardware will be in the area who need both your backgrounds. You'll see a bump in pay, but don't expect that to improve your quality of life in a meaningful way given the cost of everything will be more. The 'nice weather' tax.

This site claims 50-50 split between sunny and rainy, idk what happens the other ~60 days of the year they don't count.

My one piece of advice is line up jobs for both of you before you make the plunge, it would suck to have one of you unemployed for a long period of time. It might be worth turning down the first offer if the SO doesn't have something in the works as well.
